ASHBURN, Virginia -- The Washington Redskins entered the draft hoping to add a defensive lineman early. Instead, they waited until the fifth round before they found one they wanted to pick who was still available in Temple's Matt Ioannidis.
My take: Ioannidis played all over Temple's line. The question will be: Can he help this year? He doesn’t have to be a starter in order to help, but he does appear to be someone who should be able to help defend the run. He’s strong. But at 299 pounds, he’s probably best suited to play end in the base package and tackle in the nickel package with the Redskins hoping he can get occasional push.
