14.  Robert Nkemdiche, DT – Mississippi: (6-3, 295) Projected Round – Top 20.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  Robert Nkemdiche has top ten talent.  He’s 6’3, 295 but even at that size is one of the best athletes in the draft.  However, there are some off the field issues that Nkemdiche must prove won’t affect his performance on the field.  If he can the Redskins will be one of teams who looks closely at him because they have a need for young talented defensive linemen.  LW #14

13.  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 # 10
