10.  Michael Thomas, WR – Ohio State: (6-3, 210) Projected Round – 1st-2nd.  The Redskins still have DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon at wide receiver for the 2016 season.  However, it’s possible neither will be around after next season. So the Redskins will need to add a receiver early in the draft.  Michael Thomas is not the deep threat that Jackson is but at 6’3, 210 he bring the kind of size to the table that the Redskins currently lack at the position.   LW # 13

9.  Corey Coleman, WR – Baylor:  (5-10, 190) Projected Round – Top 25.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Slim.  The Redskins say they want both DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon back.  However, the Redskins will need to add more youth and talent at receiver some time soon.  Corey Coleman is the top deep threat receiver in the 2016 NFL Draft and he has the speed and ability to blow the top off of a defense.  The Redskins can use more of that kind of ability.    LW #9
