10. 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 #11

9. Sheldon Rankins, DT – Louisville: (6-2, 304) Projected Round – 2nd. Sheldon Rankins is flying up the board after a great showing at the senior bowl. He has to the talent to be a great addition to the Washington Redskins. He can play multiple positions along the defensive and is explosive off the ball. The Redskins will need strong young presence added to the D-line this offseason and Sheldon Rankins could be that man. LW #9
