10.  Danny Shelton, DT – Washington:  (6-2, 339) Projected Round – Top 10.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  The Redskins have signed a true nose tackle to anchor their 3-4 defense in Terrance Knighton, so the need to add Shelton has decreased.  However, Danny Shelton could step right in and form quite a rotation with Knighton for the Redskins at nose tackle.  Knighton was only signed to a 1-year deal, so Shelton could be groomed to take over in 2016.  LW # 9

9.  Bud Dupree, OLB – Kentucky: (6-4, 267) Projected Round – Top 15.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  The Redskins need to add more depth at outside linebacker, and Bud Dupree has the kind of size and explosiveness of the edge to make huge difference on the Redskins defense.  He could step in and compete for a starting spot.  LW # 10
