2015 NFL Draft.  Here is a East-West Shrine Game viewing guide that features college players to keep an eye on that the Washington Redskins might target in the draft

East-West Shrine game: 1/17/15 – 4:00 pm – NFL Network

Quarterbacks to Watch

1.  Cody Fajardo, QB – Nevada (West) – (6-2, 215) Proj.Round – 5th-6th. – Jersey # 17

2.  Taylor Heineke, QB – Old Dominion (East) – (6-1, 210) Proj. Rd. – 7th. – Jersey # 14

The Redskins have quarterbacks on the roster in Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins who will compete for the starting job next season, but they also need a quarterback to develop as a future backup or perhaps even a starter.

Two quarterbacks to keep and eye on in this game are Nevada’s Cody Fajardo and Old Dominion’s Taylor Heineke.  Neither has protypical size, but both have good mobility and the talent to possibly develop into backup quarterbacks at the NFL level.
