With the Redskins having 10 picks in the upcoming NFL Draft, they have a chance to find talent in all seven rounds. Here's a look at some of the best picks made at the Redskins current draft slots.
The Washington Redskins hold 10 draft picks overall in the 2017 NFL Draft -- which will take place later this month in Philadelphia -- and with much of the focus surrounding the first round of the draft, Washington has an opportunity to select impact players on the second and third days of the draft.
In recent drafts, Rounds 2-7 have produced quality NFL players and the Redskins have snagged a few of themover the last six drafts including Trent Williams, Trent Murphy, Jamison Crowder and Niles Paul.
Looking back at the history of the NFL Draft, there are always head scratchers on how a player lasted on the board for so long. After the 17th pick in the first round, the Redskins will have the 49th, 81st, 114th, 124th, 154th, 201st, 209th, 220th and 235th overall picks to add talent to the roster.
