Andrew Billings – NT – Baylor

For a playoff team, Washington sure needs some work. Adding a wideout like Michael Thomas or a running back like Ezekiel Elliott would definitely work to address two gaping holes for the team with this pick.

But with Terrance Knighton at 29 and offering only 29 tackles and 1.5 sacks, Washington needs an upgrade at defensive tackle.

Initially expected to stay at Baylor, Billings changed his mind and declared for the NFL draft. Billings led the Bears with 15 tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks. Washington could use his strength and playmaking in the backfield to anchor their defense that finished 26th in stopping the run.
