Washington went 8-7-1 in 2016, finishing third in the NFC East and missing the playoffs. Here's the full list of picks the Redskins hold in the 2017 draft, which will be updated as each selection is made.

Round 1, Pick 17, 17th overall

Jonathan Allen, DT, Alabama: Headed into the draft, this was a difficult pick to peg because the Redskins’ needs up front did not seem to match with the value expected to be here. Even with Allen’s spotty medicals at the combine (arthritic shoulders), Washington could not have imagined he would slip to the back half of Round 1. So, when he did, this was an obvious selection. Allen’s presence will make Washington’s previously porous front much more difficult to run against, and it will ratchet up the pass rush—either via Allen himself bringing heat, or by Allen drawing attention from his teammates.
