Da'Ron Payne goes to the Redskins with No. 13 pick

With the 13th pick in the NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins selected Alabama defensive tackle Da'Ron Payne.

Fantasy Impact:

Considering Vita Vea went off the board immediately before their pick, the Redskins took the last of the dominant defensive tackles. Playing in a division with the Cowboys and the Eagles, they are going to need to generate pressure up the middle. While some will discount Payne's ability because he played in Alabama's defense, but we'd argue that he made everyone around him better. He's going to start from Week 1 and will be alongside his former teammate Jonathan Allen. While the Redskins need cornerback help, Payne will help mask that quite a bit.
