4.  Ezekiel Elliot, RB – Ohio State: (6-0, 225) Projected Round – Top 15.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Slim.  Ezekiel Elliot may be the best running back in the 2016 NFL draft.  The Redskins have an up and coming running back in Matt Jones returning in 2016 but they may not re-sign Alfred Morris.  If they don’t then the Skins will be in need of a running back to step in and fill the void.  Elliot is the kind of tough runner that would fit the Redskins offense and he’s also a decent receiver out of the backfield.  LW # 4

3.  Jarran Reed, NT – Alabama: (6-3, 312) Projected Round – Top 25.  Likelihood on the Board when Redskins Pick – Good.  The Redskins had Terrance Knighton at nose tackle in 2015 and he did a solid job.  However, he’s a free agent this offseason and even if the Redskins re-sign him he might not get a long-term deal.  Jarran Reed is one of the top nose tackle prospects in the 2016 NFL draft and he could help the Redskins defensive line immediately.  LW # 5
