8.  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

7.  Jarran Reed, NT – Alabama: (6-3, 312) Projected Round – Top 25.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  The Redskins had Terrance Knighton at nose tackle in 2015 and he did a sold job.  However, he’s a free agent this offseason and there’s no guarantee he’ll be back in 2016.  Jarran Reed is one of the top nose tackle prospects in the 2016 NFL draft and he could help the Redskins immediately.  LW # 8
