6.  Laquon Treadwell, WR – Mississippi: (6-2, 210) Projected Round – Top 15. Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Slim.  The Redskins need to add size and talent at the wide receiver position.  They may have to release either DeSean Jackson or Pierre Garcon due to salary cap issues and they’ll need some one to step in.  Laquon Treadwell may be the best wide receiver in the 2016 NFL draft.  He would provide a quality target for Kirk Cousins.  LW #

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 2016 NFL 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 # 5
