SAFETY

Lenoir Rhyne U - Kyle Dugger

Dugger, as the graphic above from ProFootballFocus.com (PFF) shows is balling out in Mobile. When you are a small school prospect, you better.

DEFENSIVE LINE

You might be asking why a defensive lineman when the Redskins have Jon Allen, Daron Payne, Matt Ioannidis and Tim Settle already. They need depth. They need guys who can collapse the pocket. Watch Gallimore line up as a three-technique on the outside shoulder of the guard, cut inside with a swat and blow things up. It's a quick twitch league and he appears to have it. 

INSIDE LINEBACKER

Cal - Evan Weaver
