I was looking at our defensive line the other day, and I started wondering who was the last D-lineman we drafted? Turns out, the Skins haven't selected a defensive lineman in the first 5 rounds of any draft since they took Kenard Lang (who, although still playing, was a bust for a 1st rounder) in 1997. I really feel like both offensive and defensive lines need to be addressed in this year's draft. Our starting o-line is good, but I think our backups are terrible. On the d-line, we really need a pass rusher, anyone who can get some pressure without having to blitz all the time. I really think Williams is one stud defensive end away from having a dominating defense.
