20.  Troy Niklas, TE – Notre Dame: (6-7, 270) Projected Round – 2nd.  The Redskins need to keep tight ends under consideration because of Jordan Reed’s injury problems.  And Niklas is a massive target.  LW # 18

19.  Jeremiah Attoachu, OLB – Georgia Tech:  (6-3, 252) Projected Round – 2nd.  If the Redskins don’t sign Brian Orakpo to a long-term deal after next season, they’ll need more options at outside linebacker.  LW # 17

18.  Kelvin Benjamin, WR – Florida State:  (6-5, 235) Projected Round – 2nd.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Slim.  Benjamin is a first round prospect.  And if he’s on the board when the Redskins pick, they’d have a decision to make.  But since the signing of DeSean Jackson I doubt they’d take a WR in the second round.  LW # 3

17.  Joel Bitonio, OT – Nevada:  (6-4, 307) Projected Round – 2nd.  Bitonio could play at tackle or guard.  The Redskins could use that kind of versatility.  LW # 20
