12.  Jaylon Smith, LB – Notre Dame: (6-3, 240) Projected Round – 1st.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  Jaylon Smith suffered a devastating knee injury late in the season so he will need time to recover.  However, when healthy he’s arguably the best linebacker in the draft.  The Redskins could use a player like Jaylon Smith and he has the ability to play inside or outside linebacker.  LW # 11

11.  Kevin Dodd, DE – Clemson:  (6-5, 275) Projected Round – 1st.  Kevin Dodd isn’t the prototypical 3-4 defensive end but he has the kind of pass rushing ability that the Redskins would find it hard to ignore.  They need more playmakers on the defensive line and they could find a way to get him involved.  LW # 12
