2. Danny Shelton, DT – Washington: (6-2, 339) Projected Round – Top 10. Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good. The Redskins haven’t had a true nose tackle to anchor their 3-4 defense since they’ve been running the defense the last five years. Danny Shelton could step right in as the Redskins nose tackle and have an impact. He’s risen up the draft boards quickly over the past few weeks and performed well in Senior Bowl practices. LW # 2
1. Leonard Williams, DE – USC: (6-5, 302) Projected Round – Top 3. Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Slim. The Redskins need to add youth to the defensive line. Leonard Williams is the top Defensive lineman in the 2015 NFL draft and would be an impact player for the Redskins. He’s projected as a top three draft pick, and he more than likely won’t be on the board when the Redskins pick at number five. LW # 1
