2.  Andrew Billings, DT – Baylor (6-1, 310) Projected Round – Top 15.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Possible.  One thing the Redskins defense lacks is youth on the defensive line.  Most of their defensive linemen are at or over 30, so a dose of youth is needed.  The Redskins also need help stopping the run and Andrew Billings has the talent to help them upgrade their run defense.    LW # 4

1.  Mackensie Alexander, CB – Clemson:  (5-10, 195) Projected Round – Top 10.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Slim.  With the loss of top cornerback Chris Culliver to a serious knee injury the Redskins depth at cornerback is very thin.  They still have Bashaud Breeland and late season surprise Quinton Dunbar returning in 2016.  However, Mackensie Alexander is considered to be the top cornerback in the draft.  It’s doubtful that he’ll be on the board when the Redskins pick but if he is they’d have to take him.   LW #
