offensive line and keep rg3 on his feet instead of the backside. washington selected iowa offensive lineman brandon scherff. 6'5." about 320 pounds. it's believed the redskins will put him at a right tackle. although he could be playing guard as well. scherff won the trophy for most outstanding interior lineman. in his senior son with the hawk -- season with the hawkeyes and redskins nation wasted no time in getting to social media. let's take a look. this is per the redskins' fan. welcome to redskins nation. hail to the redskins, let's make some moves. welcome b scherff. redskins need a beast

elsing itselfling and run like -- elsing itself and run like -- embarrassing himself and run like a third rate franchise. we will see. that was an instagram by redskins' design. so guys, open season again. anytime the redskins make a pick, good or bad, there's plenty of people weighing in. >> he was the outland -- >> oh, yeah. >> he won it. the best interior lineman. but jon gruden said it best last night. they need the dogs as you put -- hogs as you put it. >> protect the guy. >> the guy who came in number two went to the saints to protect drew brees, they're saying the same thing. >> at

made their bed and they're going to have to lie in it. and it starts today. >> reporter: today, it was clear the harsh sentence had weighed heavily on him. >> when the judge goes home and he keeps

is the scene and it has been all week of a lot of protests a lot of activity and earlier this week. that violence. now it is peaceful. last night, it was peaceful and everyone here is cautiously optimistic that we will have another peaceful day here. of course the past few days have been relatively incident- free. which is why many businesses are asking stilettoeders now to -- city leaders now to lift that mandatory curfew that's been in place every day. they say it's hurting their because, for the latestest in the freddie gray case. the session is now officially in the hands of the state's attorney. the next step is determined if charges will be filed against the officers involved. there's no timetable available right now for the and when that will happen. today we expect
