14.  Kenny Clark, DT – UCLA: (6-2, 310) Projected Round – 1st-2nd.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  It’s imperative that the Redskins add some young talent to the defensive line.  Nose tackle Terrance Knighton is a free agent and defensive end Jason Hatcher might retire.  Kenny Clark has the ability to play either nose tackle or defensive end for the Redskins and could help them take the D-line to another level.  LW # 14

13.  Eli Apple, CB – Ohio State: (6-1, 200) Projected Round – 1st-2nd.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  The Redskins need more depth at cornerback.  They struggled with injuries at the position all season long and need more options.  Eli Apple has the kind of size that general manager Scot McCloughan likes at 6’1, 200.  He can play physical in press coverage and is a sure tackler in run support.  LW # 13
