Washington Redskins 2016 NFL Draft order

Here is the complete 2016 NFL Draft order for the Washington Redskins.

In 2015, The Washington Redskins proved a lot of critics wrong and showed tremendous growth under head coach Jay Gruden. The team improved in a lot of areas, got better in the trenches and saw some players emerge as weapons on the team.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins took a step forward and got better and overtook the starting job from Robert Griffin III, who was sent on his way after the season. With the Redskins showing signs of stability and now in a place to build, this is their chance to try and take that next step with a great 2016 NFL Draft Class.

The Redskins got lucky before the draft, when they were able to sign superstar cornerback Josh Norman. With a big position of need locked down, the team has more flexibility to do what they want in the draft and not have to worry about reaching on talent.

If last season was any indication, the Redskins can compete, they just have to get more consistent at it. Here is the complete 2016 NFL Draft order for the Redskins.
