18.  Noah Spence, OLB – Eastern Kentucky: (6-3, 254) Projected Round – 1st. Spence is one of the best pass rushers in the draft but the Redskins aren’t desperate for an outside linebacker early in the draft, especially with the emergence of Preston Smith and the re-signing of Junior Gallette.  However, if other top targets are off the board already the Redskins might be inclined to add another pass rusher to their defense.    LW #16

17.  Derrick Henry, RB – Alabama: (6-2, 242) Projected Round – 1st-2nd.  Derrick Henry is a big and powerful running back.  His skills would go well with what the Redskins want to do in establishing a power running game in their offense.  Henry is the Heisman Trophy winner and bring the kind of running talent to the table that the Redskins could use to improve their offense.   LW # 17
