8.  Brandon Scherff, OT – Iowa:  (6-5, 319) Projected Round – Top 10.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  The Redskins will need to add some offensive line talent in this draft and Brandon Scherff is the top lineman.  He would start from day one at right tackle, and Brandon Scherff could project as a guard on the Redskins offensive line as well.  Recent events in NFL Free Agency might force the Redskins to move Scherff up their draft board.  LW #8

7.  Amari Cooper, WR – Alabama:  (6-1, 210) Projected Round – Top 10.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  Amari Cooper is arguably the top wide receiver in the draft, but the Redskins don’t have a huge need a receiver.  However, Cooper has good size, speed and unique playmaking ability.  He might be too good for the Redskins to pass up.  LW # 7
