2.  Andrew Billings, DT – Baylor (6-1, 310) Projected Round – Top 15.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Possible.  One thing the Redskins defense lacks is youth on the defensive line.  Most of their defensive linemen are at or over 30, so a dose of youth is needed.  The Redskins also need help stopping the run and Andrew Billings has the talent to help them upgrade their run defense.    LW # 3

1.  A’Shawn Robinson, DT – Alabama:  (6-3, 312) Projected Round – Top 15.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Slim.  A’Shawn Robinson is arguably the top defensive tackle in the 2016 NFL draft.  He’s a load inside and has the athleticism to go with it.  This makes him a perfect fit for the Redskins 3-4 defense. Robinson will more than likely not be on the board when the Redskins pick but strange things can happen sometimes in the draft and you never know but if Robinson slides down the board the Redskins would be smart to scoop him up.  LW #1
