After months of speculation, the 2020 NFL Draft is finally here.
The Washington Redskins have seven selections, starting with the No. 2 overall pick. They also have picks in the third and fifth rounds and two picks each in the fourth and seventh rounds. The Redskins gave up this year's second-round selection during the 2019 NFL Draft, when they traded back into the first round to draft Montez Sweat.
This is the first draft under new head coach Ron Rivera, who will be working closely with Vice President of Player Personnel Kyle Smith to ensure the Redskins make the most of the three-day event.
"We're really excited to move forward," Smith said. "We've gotten our group of guys, we've gone through the process, we've talked to the coaches. We're just ready to roll now."
