30.  Keanu Neal, FS – Florida:  (6-0, 211) Projected Round 2nd.  Keanu Neal is moving fast up the draft boards.  He has good size, tackling and coverage skills.  The Redskins have unanswered questions at free safety and Neal is a player who could help answer them.  Right now it appears that unless they re-sign Dashon Goldson, then DeAngelo Hall will be the starting free safety. LW #

29.  Kevin Dodd, DE – Clemson:  (6-5, 275) Projected Round – 1st.  Kevin Dodd isn’t the prototypical 3-4 defensive end but he has the kind of pass rushing ability that the Redskins would find it hard to ignore.  They need more playmakers on the defensive line and they could find a way to get him involved. With the Redskins re-signing of Junior Galette, Dodd’s stock has fallen due to need but he should still be under consideration.  LW # 29
