With the 51st pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, the Redskins select...

Darius Slay CB, Mississippi State

Rd3 85 Justin Pugh OT, Syracuse
Rd4 119 Duke Williams S, Nevada
Rd5 154 ILB
Rd5 162 TE/WR
Rd6 191 RB
Rd7 228 DB

My thought process is that a few players should slip a little bit because they're not a good fit for preceeding teams (scheme) and therefore may benefit the Skins. I'm hopeful a prospect like Slay is still on the board in the 2nd because what I read in USA Today's NFL Draft Preview (I needed a reference for a Big Board) Slay's defense at Miss State was seriously lacking a pass rush and he still fared well with teams throwing away from top-corner counterpart Johnathan Banks. I also hope Pugh falls into our lap at 85th overall as other teams may see him as a ZBS OT. Duke Williams is probably a slight reach but I think the Skins like his leadership and they've shown to value captains. The positions I listed simply reflect needs that I think the team will try to address. Maybe a poor man's Santana Moss and Fred Davis (Shanahan trying to convert another WR to a TE type of player) clone can be found in the late rounds. Running backs? Need I say more? Maybe a promising small school DB who makes the PS.
