Washington Redskins midseason mock draft and analysis

Round 5

DE Corbin Kaufusi – Brigham Young

Corbin Kaufusi is a bit raw, but has a ton of potential. He stands 6-foot-9 and weighs in at 285. He can add bulk to his frame and be a true defensive end or play edge. He’s strong, powerful, deceptively quick, and would likely need a year to adjust to the NFL. Kaufusi has a 6-foot-1 sister who can likely out-lift you with considerable ease – tallness and strength runs in the family. Redskins star Matt Ioannidis was a fifth-round selection. Can lightning strike twice?

Compensatory Pick – RB Wes Hills – Slippery Rock

The Redskins tend to shun prospects from smaller schools and typically prefer power five conference players, but Wes Hills is too talented to ignore. He transferred from Delaware, per John Russo of Press of Atlantic City, earlier this year and will play his final season for The Rock. At 6-foot-2, 225, Hills is a powerful, bruising back. He would do well in a power scheme and could also serve time at fullback when needed.
