Redskins Add 10 For 2017 Draft Class

The Washington Redskins' 2017 NFL Draft is complete.

The Redskins started the 2017 NFL Draft by selecting back-to-back Alabama defensive players, first selecting defensive lineman Jonathan Allen with the No. 17-overall pick before picking his college teammate -- linebacker Ryan Anderson -- in the second round with pick No. 49.

Washington continued the defense-heavy approach to start the draft, selecting UCLA cornerback Fabian Moreau in the third round.

Then on Saturday, the Redskins picked Oklahoma's all-time leading rusher -- running back Samaje Perine -- and Michigan State safety Monate Nicholson in the fourth round before selecting Arkansas tight end Jeremy Sprinkle in the fifth round to team up with the likes of Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis.
