[Irrefutable]

We have 10 picks going into the draft which also gives up the ability to go up and get a player we like.

So tell me who are your ideal first three picks for the Skins? Who would like to get in the first 3 rounds of the draft who could be starting for the Skins within the first year? This is your homerun type get. My first combination would be:

Round 1: Solomon Thomas DE/OLB 3-4. Pass Rushing, Athletic Baller

Round 2: Calab Brantley NT/DE in the mold similar to McClain. A little undersized, but fast and Athletic. His mocks are all over the place, but most think it he falls to 2nd round.

Round 3: Joe Mixon RB. We know the baggage, but its in the past. This is a guy who could come in and take the offense to another dimension. IMO, this is the draft where I find out if Jay is serious about ever developing an outstanding offense with a good/great RB.

These guys are starters in the league. Who you got as your first 3 rounds for the Skins?

Round 1 Thomas is projected in the top 10.... top 5 in some places, unless he is caught robbing a bank he will not be available at #17

Round 2 Brantley might be a solid pick

Round 3 Mixon has to much baggage for the Redskins to pick

Round 1 unless a great player slips, trade down.... then get D lineman
Round 2 Evan Engram TE... maybe big WR
Round 3 M Adams DL
