Redskins Big Board 9.0 – 2016 NFL Draft

Redskins Big Board 9.0 – 2016 NFL Draft

This is a big board ranked to the specific needs of the Washington Redskins and not the NFL.  Players the Redskins might be drafting with their first pick.  It’s possible the Redskins might trade down in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft too, so we rank players into the second round as well.

32.  Jeremy Cash, SS – Duke:  (6-1, 212) Projected Round – 2nd.  One of the top areas of need the Washington Redskins have is at strong safety.  They signed free agent David Bruton and Duke Ihenacho returns but it’s time the Redskins invested a high round draft pick on a safety and Jeremy Cash has the size and ability to help them. LW #26

31.  Jaylon Smith, LB – Notre Dame:(6-3, 240) Projected Round – 2nd.  Jaylon Smith stock has dropped as it seems he may not be able to play in 2016.  He suffered a devastating knee injury late last season.  It was discovered at the NFL Combine that they injury may be worse than originally thought  Smith may need time to recover.  However, when healthy he’s arguably the best linebacker in the 2016 NFL Draft.  The Redskins could use a player like Jaylon Smith and he has the ability to play inside or outside linebacker.     LW #32
