Will Compton to be starter at inside linebacker for Washington
Washington inside linebacker Will Compton is written "in Sharpie" at the top of the depth chart, CSN Mid-Atlantic's Rich Tandler said.
Compton started the final nine games last season including the playoffs, but he was a liability in run defense. He should enter this season as a starter, but he will need to take a big step forward to nail down a full-time role. Perry Riley and Mason Foster will vie for the other starting spot. Rookie Su'a Cravens could emerge as the team's primary sub-package inside linebacker.
Washington ranked 17th in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points (NEP) per play in 2015.
