Redskins Visited With a DT Recently

The Redskins had a visit with a Defensive Tackle in preparation for the draft.

Scout.com's own Adam Caplan is reporting that Georgia Tech Defensive End Darrell Robertson visited with the Redskins recently.

Given all the defenders the Redskins have had in for visits, it is a given that the Redskins will look to upgrade their defense in this draft.

Defensive Line has been marked as a high position of need for the Redskins. Phillip Daniels and Cornelius Griffin are getting a tad long in the tooth and the need for quality backups now is essential.

Back on January 23rd, Chris Steuber reported that the Redskins had interviewed Robertson at the Senior Bowl as well. So this makes the second visit with him, which could signify that their interest is a bit more than just interviewing any available player.

In that article, Steuber described the 6'4", 245 pound Robertson:

Robertson is a tall, rangy defender who thrives on making plays in the backfield. He's a good athlete who gets after the quarterback and takes good angles in pursuit. He finished his senior campaign with 36 tackles, 16 for a loss and 6.5 sacks. Robertson projects as a late third-, early fourth-round pick.

Currently, Scout.com has him ranked as the tenth best Defensive End in the 2008 Draft.

At 245 pounds, I would think Robertson would either have to gain significant weight or just be a situational pass rusher to have any shot in the NFL.
