Washington Redskins Draft Countdown: Making the Case for Ameer Abdullah

I'll confess, I usually hate when teams draft to a strength. It just seems like one of those too-smart-for-your-own-good things hipster personnel people do.

So it's unusual to be so much in favor of the Washington Redskins adding a running back in one of the first three rounds of the 2015 NFL draft. Adding one with the sixth pick in Round 2, to be exact.

That's precisely where the Redskins should waste no time taking Ameer Abdullah off the board.

The former Nebraska ace is the versatile speedster Washington's backfield needs. He's also the change-of-pace complement bruising workhorse Alfred Morris deserves.
