Washington Redskins: Grade for 2011 NFL Draft picks

redskinshel042611_optNothing wrong with the talent the Washington Redskins selected or the picks they accumulated trading down in the draft. The question is going to be whether Redskins systems suits the players they drafted. Ryan Kerrigan was a good 4-3 defensive end in college, but is he going to be able to play in the 3-4 whether as a defensive end, or as an outside linebacker? Jarvis Jenkins was a good defensive tackle in college, but can he play the nose tackle in the pros? Washington added depth at the wide receiver and running back positions in the draft in the middle rounds. Leonard Hankerson is a good pick in the third round as some mock drafts had him listed as the third best receiver in the draft and being taken early in the second round. The problem for the Redskins is that they did not draft a quarterback, and their current starter is still Rex Grossman.
