2018 First Round Mock Draft - Redskins Get Help on Defense

Welcome to the off-season Redskins fans!

Below are my selections for each team in the first round. Keep in mind, picks 1-24 are set (minus a coin-flip between the 49ers and Raiders to determine pick 9). Picks 25-32 are just projections at this time.
