Redskins' general manager Scot McCloughan said that he may trade away the fifth pick to a team that wants USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams if Williams were to fall to that spot. (Pro Football Talk)

Fantasy Impact:

Many people view Williams as the best prospect in the draft, but with the signings of Terrance Knighton and Stephen Paea, there's little sense in getting another defensive lineman. An pass-rusher would be more of a need for Washington than a 300-pound lineman like Williams. It may be the best option to trade the pick if Williams falls that far, then try to get a late-first round pick to select a high-end pass rusher.
