12.  Darron Lee, LB – Ohio State: (6-1, 235) Projected Round – Top 20.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  Darron Lee is one of the most versatile linebackers in the draft.  He could play in a 4-3 or 3-4 defense.  In the Redskins 3-4 he’d play inside linebacker.  Lee has the kind of athleticism that the Redskins could use not only against the run but also when dropping in coverage against the pass.  LW #10

11.  Noah Spence, OLB – Eastern Kentucky: (6-3, 254) Projected Round – 1st. Spence is one of the best pass rushers in the draft but the Redskins aren’t desperate for an outside linebacker early in the draft, especially with the emergence of Preston Smith.  However, if other top targets are off the board already the Redskins might be inclined to add another pass rusher to their defense.    LW #23
