6.  Marcus Mariota, QB – Oregon: (6-4, 217) Projected Round – Top 10.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Slim.  Marcus Mariota is one of the top quarterbacks in the draft and reports say that if he’s on the board at number five the Redskins will take him.  The Redskins would need to certainly need to consider drafting him if he falls to them at number five, but they would also more than likely trade down if he fell to them.  LW # 5

5.  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 # 6
