32. Washington Redskins
Six-year veteran Andre Carter is the most solid player on the defensive line. He has been surrounded by underachievers and aging athletes. Carter has excellent quickness off the edge but has never been a physical player versus the run. Phillip Daniels is on the backside of his career and does not have much playmaking ability. Backup ends Demetric Evans and Renaldo Wynn have shown little playmaking ability throughout their careers. Defensive tackles Cornelius Griffin underachieved in 2006 and has been an inconsistent performer much of his career. Rookie sixth-round pick Kedric Golston and backup Joe Salave'a play hard but don't have the tools to be impact players. The Redskins didn't address the defensive line deficiencies in the 2007 draft. Instead they tried to plug holes with veteran retreads.

I think that's a little harsh. And was it written by Andre Carter's agent? That first sentence is news to me. Also, C.G. has been hampered by injury but to label him an inconsistent performer is to not have seem him play in Washington. If you mean oft-injured then write that. We may have the worst line in the league, but this writer doesn't seem to have arrived at that conclusion by watching games.

We definitely need better play from this group and I do agree that we lack playmakers at DE, which is why I was an advocate for drafting that position. Even If Andre Carter plays great, you still have a hole on the other side. P.D. can't have much left in the tank at this point.
