12.  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 #15

11.  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 #12
