16.  Ryan Kelly, C – Alabama: (6-4, 297) Projected Round – 1st-2nd.  The Redskins have a solid starter at center in Kory Lichtensteiger and Josh LeRibeus is a good backup but the offense could use more talent at the position.  Ryan Kelly is the top center in the 2016 NFL Draft, has good size and the Redskins would have to consider taking him given the need they have at the position.    LW # 19

15.  Eli Apple, CB – Ohio State: (6-1, 200) Projected Round – 1st-2nd.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  The Redskins need more depth at cornerback.  They struggled with injuries at the position all season long and need more options.  Eli Apple has the kind of size that general manager Scot McCloughan likes at 6’1, 200.  He can play physical in press coverage and is a sure tackler in run support.  LW # 18
