NFL Draft 2016: Redskins Big Board 2.0 – Jaylon Smith a Skin?

This is a big board ranked to the specific needs of the Washington Redskins and not the NFL.  Players the Redskins might be drafting with their first pick.  It’s possible the Redskins might trade down in the first round too, so we rank players into the second round as well.

24.  Tyler Boyd, WR – Pittsburgh:  (6-2, 200) Projected Round – 2nd.  Wide receiver will be one of the positions that the Redskins will need to address in the draft.  They’ll  need size and perhaps more speed depending on which veteran receiver is no longer with the team in 2016.  Tyler Boyd has the ability to help in both areas and is one of the most acrobatic receivers in the draft.     LW # 

23.  Austin Johnson, DT – Penn State: (6-4, 323) Projected Round – 2nd. The Redskins run defense is in need of an upgrade.  One of the best way to help improve against the run is to add more talent to the defensive line and Austin Johnson has the size and talent help give the Redskins another option at nose tackle and defensive end.  LW #
