Hope you're right. Fact of the matter is Washington has drafted defensive line in the first round in 4 consecutive drafts now.
And in that same span of time, the defense has ranked only once in the top ten in third down percentage (#7 in 2017). The remaining 3 years they ranked no higher than 29th in 3rd down percentage. 2 of those years, including 2019 they ranked last in the league.
Hoping Ron Rivera is the difference for you guys. Really do
