The Washington Redskins have a few holes to fill on defense, and it’s an easy selection to make linebacker Tremaine Edmunds the guy they target.

Edmunds, a massive 6-foot-5 and 250-pound prospect, is the epitome of sheer untapped potential. He has the ability to play a variety of different positions — inside linebacker, outside linebacker, an edge bender or even lining up in some defensive line nickel and dime packages.

Simply put, he plays defense. And at only 19 years old, there’s plenty of room for continued growth and development.

Edmunds would easily be a versatile tool head coach Jay Gruden could install at whatever position he needs filled.
