Mel Kipers projects Redskins to draft Clemson CB with 1st round pick

It's what we do when we have a few months without football, but we have NO IDEA what's going to happen with the draft.. The days immediately before the draft last year, the projections for the Skins #5 pick were: Dante Fowler (NFL.com, ESPN.Com), and Vic Beasley (SI.com, USAToday), and NO ONE predicted Scherff, especially in the scenario where Leonard Williams dropped.

We'll follow all of the draft hype for the next few months because there's nothing else to do.. but it's hard to believe we'll actually get it right & predict Scott's move at #20 where there are literally 1000s of scenarios -- when we couldn't figure out possibilities at #5 last year.

I'm just hoping he fills in our *need* positions via mid-level FA's like last year, to open up drafting the true BPA without thinking about need.

Right on dude! That's why I don't even pay much attention to pre-draft mocks. I like seeing who the 'skins draft and then go back and read everything about them post draft.
