While most NFL mock drafts have the Washington Redskins looking at drafting a quarterback, Pete Schrager of FOX Sports takes a bit of a different approach in his latest mock draft.
6. Washington Redskins: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa: This pick should have a giant asterisk next to it because it entirely depends on what a) the Redskins do in free agency, and b) what they're willing to do to move up to that number 2 spot. If the Redskins opt to sign Packers backup Matt Flynn in March, look for Daniel Snyder, Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan to grab him a bookend tackle to pair with Trent Williams on the offensive line. Protecting their next franchise quarterback with two Top 10 tackles isn't the worst thing to do. In a division with DeMarcus Ware, Jason Pierre-Paul,Justin Tuck and Jason Babin, it's almost required.
Schrager does raise a great point about the Redskins offensive line and protecting the quarterback, whomever it may be. The Redskins quarterbacks were sacked a combined 41 times in the 2011 season.
