28.  Shaq Thompson, ILB – Washington: (6-2, 231) Projected Round – 1st.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  Shaq Thompson is a tremendous playmaker at the linebacker position.  He’s great against the run and in pass coverage.  The Redskins could use someone who can create more turnovers.  LW # 23

27.  Eli Harold, OLB – Virginia: (6-4, 250) Projected Round – 1st-2nd.  Eli Harold had a good performance at the NFL Combine and he should now be on the Washington Redskins radar.  There is a need to add depth at the outside linebacker position and if the Redskins trade down, Harold will be a player they look at.    LW # 28
