12.  Darron Lee, LB – Ohio State: (6-1, 235) Projected Round – Top 20.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  Darron Lee is one of the most versatile linebackers in the draft.  He could play in a 4-3 or 3-4 defense.  In the Redskins 3-4 he’d play inside linebacker.  Lee has the kind of athleticism that the Redskins could use not only against the run but also when dropping in coverage against the pass.  LW #13

11.  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 off the field 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 #11
