NFL Draft 2016: Redskins Big Board 3.0 – A New Number 1?

6.  Robert Nkemdiche, DT – Mississippi: (6-3, 295) Projected Round – Top 20.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  Robert Nkemdiche has top ten talent.  He’s 6’3, 295 but even at that size is one of the best athletes in the draft.  However, there are some of the issues that Nkemdiche must prove won’t affect his performance on the field.  If he can the Redskins will be one of teams who looks closely at him because they have a need for young talented defensive linemen.  LW #7

5.  Ezekiel Elliot, RB – Ohio State: (6-0, 225) Projected Round – Top 15.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Possible.  Ezekiel Elliot may be the best running back in the draft.  The Redskins have a up and coming running back in Matt Jones returning in 2016 but they may not re-sign Alfred Morris.  If they don’t then the Skins will be in need of a running back to step in and fill the void.  Elliot is the kind of tough runner that would fit the Redskins offense and he’s also a decent receiver out of the backfield.  LW # 4
