The Washington Redskins have quietly had their best draft in years. In the first round the Redskins opted not to take a QB and look to build up their front seven, which was a huge problem for them last season as they transitioned to a 3-4 defense.
They added Ryan Kerrigan in the first round, who led the NCAA in tackles for losses last season. Kerrigan should immediately take some pressure off of Brian Orakpo, and will instantly improve their biggest problem from last season--the pass rush.
In the second round, the Redskins drafted Jarvis Jenkins, a defensive lineman from Clemson. He is a very versatile lineman who should be able to fill in as a five-technique on running downs, and as a NT on passing downs.
The Redskins also added WR Leonard Hankerson in the third round of the draft. Hankerson is a player that can instantly come in and become the Redskin No. 1 or No. 2 WR, and will likely replace Santana Moss in the starting lineup. Hankerson was once projected to be a first round pick, but saw himself slide all the way to the Redskins.
