The Redskins took LSU running back Derrius Guice with the 59th-overall pick in the NFL Draft, an opportunity many didn't predict heading into last week.
It would have been hard to convince anyone that LSU running back Derrius Guice would be available for the Redskins in the second round, let alone late in the second round with the 59th pick, just a few weeks ago. Guice was projected to be taken at the end of the first round, rated as arguably the second best running back in the draft with a mixture of speed and power, running and receiving skills.
