22.  Kenny Clark, DT – UCLA: (6-2, 310) Projected Round – 1st-2nd.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  It’s imperative that the Redskins add some young talent to the defensive line.  Nose tackle Terrance Knighton is a free agent and defensive end Jason Hatcher might retire.  Kenny Clark has the ability to play either nose tackle or defensive end for the Redskins and could help them take the D-line to another level.  LW # 18

21.  Vernon Butler, DT – Louisiana Tech: (6-4, 325) Projected Round – 1st-2nd. Vernon Butler is massive and a terror to deal with for centers and interior offensive linemen.  Butler is quick off the ball and can push centers into the backfield.  He also can collapse the pocket on passing downs.  The Redskins need a defensive linemen who can consistently command a double team.  Vernon Butler is that man.  LW #23
