Washington Redskins rookie class set to contribute early and often

The first two rounds stand out immediately. The Washington Redskins bolstered their defensive line by drafting Da’Ron Payne in Round 1, and later, they received a very generous stroke of luck, as Derrius Guice, one of the most talented running backs in the entire class, fell to them at No. 59.

Those first two players figure to be key contributors for the Redskins from day one, with the latter likely to start and flourish at running back. But while we rave about those selections, the later picks should not be forgotten.
