The Washington Redskins may have fallen flat once again in Week 17 in a brutal 34-10 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, but for every cloud there is a silver lining.
In this case, the silver lining would be the placement of the Redskins picks in the 2012 NFL Draft order. After their record fell to 5-11 today and the Dolphins and Jaguars both picked up wins, Washington will slot into the 2012 Draft anywhere between 4th and 6th, according to Daniel Shiferaw of SB Nation DC.
If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers happen to knock off the Atlanta Falcons today and the Cleveland Browns can best the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Redskins would have 4th pick in the Draft. If both of those teams lose, which they are expected to do, the Redskins will pick no lower than 6th.
