2015 NFL Mock Draft: Washington Redskins Seven-Round Mock, Late-April Edition

Washington Redskins — The Washington Redskins are in a position to add a lot of talent in the draft. They have the No. 5 overall pick which should allow them to get a top-level defensive player. Washington has one pick in each round, so a successful draft would help the Redskins bounce back from two consecutive last-place finishes in the NFC East. Here is their complete mock draft.

Round 1: Alvin Dupree, OLB/DE. Kentucky

Alvin Dupree Kentucky

Round 1: Alvin Dupree, OLB/DE. Kentucky

Alvin Dupree Kentucky — Alvin Dupree has had a great pre-draft process. He should be able to slot in as a 3-4 rush end and would help Washington replace Brian Orakpo. They already went out and signed Terrance Knighton and Stephen Paea to shore up the interior of their defensive line, but adding Dupree to go along with Ryan Kerrigan on the outside would give the Redskins a formidable pass rush.

Round 2: Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon

Jake Fisher Oregon

Round 2: Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon

Jake Fisher Oregon — A lot of the problems that Washington has had over the past two years can go back to their offensive line. Robert Griffin III isn't a big guy, and they can't let him continually take beatings. Jake Fisher has a fairly polished game and should be able to compete for a starting job as a rookie. He has the ability to play multiple positions on the line, so Washington can plug him in wherever they are weakest.

Round 3: D'Joun Smith, CB, Florida Atlantic

D'Joun Smith Florida Atlantic

Round 3: D'Joun Smith, CB, Florida Atlantic

D'Joun Smith Florida Atlantic — Washington's secondary has been hard to watch over the past few years, unless, of course, your fantasy quarterback was playing against them. D'Joun Smith won't be able to fix all of their problems, but he would be a good start. The question marks about him are the lack of competition he faced in college and his top-end speed. However, he ran well at his pro day, has good instincts and showed above average ball skills.

Round 4: David Cobb, RB, Minnesota

David Cobb Minnesota

Round 4: David Cobb, RB, Minnesota

David Cobb Minnesota — Washington doesn't have much after Alfred Morris on their running back depth chart. David Cobb was a workhorse for Minnesota last year, running for just over 1,600 yards. He is a powerful running back who gets the most out of every carry. Cobb isn't going to make a lot of people miss, but he gets the job done.

Round 5: Kurtis Drummond, FS, Michigan State

Kurtis Drummond Michigan State

Round 5: Kurtis Drummond, FS, Michigan State

Kurtis Drummond Michigan State — Washington gave up a lot of long passing plays last season. The back end of their defense was non-existent at times. Kurtis Drummond was a big part of the Michigan State Spartans' dominant defenses of the past few seasons. He could help stabilize the deep middle of Washington's defense.

Round 6: Bryce Hager, ILB, Baylor

Bryce Hager Baylor

Round 6: Bryce Hager, ILB, Baylor

Bryce Hager Baylor — Bryce Hager is a low ceiling but high floor pick in the sixth round. He would provide Washington with some depth at linebacker and has a chance to be an effective special teams player. He was very productive in college and has the speed to be useful in coverage against tight ends.

Round 7: Malcolm Bunche, OG, UCLA

Malcolm Bunche UCLA

Round 7: Malcolm Bunche, OG, UCLA

Malcolm Bunche UCLA — Malcolm Bunche makes sense in the seventh round because of his upside and his potential to play multiple positions. He had a poor season for UCLA last year which included him losing his starting job twice, but most of his mistakes were of the mental variety. Bunche has the physical tools to make it in the NFL and could become a steal if he figures everything out.

Eddie Lacy Could Barely Handle 30-Yard Run

Eddie Lacy is a short yardage specialist, and when he breaks these long runs he definitely will come out of the game every time. This huge run setup the Packers' go-ahead touchdown and they would never look back. Lacy would get his later in the game.
