14.  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

13.  Reggie Ragland, ILB – Alabama:  (6-2, 252) Projected Round – Top 20.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Possible.  The Redskins run defense was among the worst in the league in 2015 and that’s something they have to change.  Reggie Ragland is the top inside linebacker in the 2016 NFL Draft and he could be a nice presence on the inside for a Redskins defense in need of playmakers.  LW # 14
