Sources tell WalterFootball.com that Clemson outside linebacker Vic Beasley and defensive end Tavaris Barnes took a pre-draft visit to the Washington Redskins. The Redskins hold the fifth-overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, and many have projected them to take a pass-rusher after losing Brian Orakpo in free agency.

Beasley totaled 12 sacks, 33 tackles, 21.5 tackles for a loss, three passes batted and three forced fumbles in 2014. He was a pass-rushing terror, including excellent games against Florida State and South Carolina. After playing defensive end in college, Beasley's weight and run defense demand a position change to linebacker in the NFL. He could fit as a 3-4 outside linebacker. The 6-foot-2, 246-pound Beasley also would have the ability to play in a 4-3 scheme as a linebacker and situational defensive end. Redskins defensive coordinator Joe Barry has a history in the Tampa-2 and a 3-4 defense with the Chargers in recent years. Barry could use Beasley in a variety of ways.

Sources say that Barnes (6-3, 275) has a lot of physical talent, and they are hoping to land him on their roster. They feel he is a sleeper pick and was better than Clemson defensive end Corey Crawford, who saw more playing time. As a senior, Barnes had 19 tackles with three sacks, one forced fumble and five tackles for a loss in limited opportunities. Many teams have worked him out privately and shown heavy interest. That list includes San Francisco, Tampa Bay, New England, Arizona, Houston, Seattle, New Orleans, Tennessee, and now the Redskins.

In the Redskins' defense, Barnes could play a base defensive end in 4-3 packages with the ability to play some 3-4 defensive end or outside linebacker.
