Round 1 – EDGE Jalen Jelks – Oregon

It is unknown if the Redskins will keep Preston Smith or let him walk in free agency. Ryan Kerrigan is not getting any younger and you can never have enough pass rushers.

At 6-foot-6 and 252 pounds, Oregon’s Jalen Jelks has the size and strength to be an effective pass rusher at the next level; a likely starter from day one.
