The Redskins have picked OLB Perry Riley out of LSU with the 103rd overall pick (4th round) of the NFL Draft.  Riley is 6’0″, 237 pounds and he runs a 4.8 40.  Riley is not much of a pass rusher but he brings a lot of pain in the running game.  That could force Riley to move inside in the pros.  Riley played in 13 games (all starts ) for LSU last season and he had 97 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss, he broke up 5 passes and he had 1 interception.  He played in 48 games (22 starts) in his four years at LSU and he finished up with 185 tackles, 13 tackles for a loss, he had 2 sacks, broke up 8 passes and he had 2 interceptions.  Look for Riley to eventually develop into a starter but his near future will likely be spent on special teams.
