[Will Fairfax 3]

The Redskins finally have a first round draft pick again. Who should they draft in the first round and beyond?

Don't see the appeal of Harris in the third. I think he is a guy that could end up in the 4th and fall to the Redskins perfectly.

 

Fowler at #5 sounds good, but you guys just spent a high pick on Trent Murphy, and Fowler may be gone at that point.

Thanks for the feedback. I use this site to get an idea of where a player is projected to go: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1865418/anthony-harris

 

I'm no draft expert, so I certainly could be wrong. Some sites say his value is in rounds 2-3, while others say 3-4.

 

Yes the Redskins drafted Murphy, but he isn't nearly the pass rusher that Fowler is. Fowler has a much higher ceiling and has been compared to guys like Justin Houston, Khalil Mack, and Terrell Suggs. A guy like that is too good to pass on and the Redskins have so many needs that they should draft the best player available. I agree though that the Raiders or Jaguars could select him earlier. There are so many talented pass rushers in this class with Leonard Williams, Randy Gregory, Shane Ray, and Vic Beasley so anything could happen. Fox Sports just came out with an article that said this pass rushing class could be the best in a decade: http://www.foxsports.com/south/story/10-pass-rushers-that-will-turn-this-draft-class-into-best-in-10-years-030215

Harris could fall anywhere in between, and I like him as one of the better safeties in the class. That said, I'm basing my opinion off of where I've seem him mocked. Not a bad pick in Round 3 if there is no other options in the secondary right there.

 

Fowler at #5 is definitely not a bad choice, but that's assuming he falls that far and nobody trades up. I wouldn't be shocked to see him go anywhere between 2-4 or a team moving up to get him. On tape he is one of the most impressive pass-rushers of this class. If I had to expect the Redskins to scoop someone up, I'd say it's Shane Ray at #5. The media likes to lower Ray's value, but when I watched I saw a guy who was every bit as talented as Fowler with greater size. Do you believe they could make a move on someone in the secondary at #5?
