| 1 | 16 (16) (From Jacksonville) | Ryan Kerrigan | LB | 6-4 | 263 | Purdue |
| He will help upgrade the Redskins' pass-rushing attack. High-motor player, able to play both defensive end and outside linebacker. |
| 2 | 9 (41) | Jarvis Jenkins | DT/DE | 6-4 | 315 | Clemson |
| He will help bolster the Redskins' 3-4 defensive front. Last season recorded 33 tackles and a sack for the Tigers. Will be interesting to see if he's used as a nose tackle or end. |
| 3 | 15 (79) (From Miami) | Leonard Hankerson | WR | 6-1 | 209 | Miami |
| He recorded 72 catches for 1,156 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. Will help bolster a receiver unit that is lacking on size with both Santana Moss (who is a free agent) and Anthony Armstrong both under 6 feet tall. |
| 4 | 8 (105) | Roy Helu | RB | 6-0 | 219 | Nebraska |
| The Redskins moved up to the 105th pick to select the 6-foot, 219-pound Helu, who last season rushed for 1,245 yds and 11 TDs last season. Should help round out a RB unit that also includes Ryan Torain and Keiland Williams. |
| 5 | 15 (146) (From Miami) | DeJon Gomes | S | 6-0 | 208 | Nebraska |
| The 6-foot, 200-pound Gomes will join a crowded safety corps that already includes LaRon Landry, O.J. Atogwe, Reed Doughty, Kareem Moore, Chris Horton, Anderson Russell and Macho Harris. |
| 5 | 24 (155) (From New Orleans) | Niles Paul | WR | 6-1 | 224 | Nebraska |
| Taken with the 155th overall pick, the 6-foot-1, 220-pound Paul recorded 39 catches for 516 yards and a touchdown last season for Nebraska. Paul also served as a kick returner for Nebraska, averaging 24.42 yards on kickoffs and 11.43 yards per punt return. |
| 6 | 12 (177) | Evan Royster | RB | 6-1 | 228 | Penn State |
| Taken with the 177th pick, the 6-foot-1, 228-pound Westfield High product rushed for 3,932 yards in his Penn State career and earned all-Big Ten honors three years. |
| 6 | 13 (178) (From Houston) | Aldrick Robinson | WR | 5-10 | 178 | Southern Methodist |
| The 178th overall pick, the 5-foot-10, 178-pound speedster notched 65 catches for 1,301 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. |
| 7 | 10 (213) | Brandyn Thompson | CB | 5-9 | 180 | Boise State |
| Thompson (5-foot-9, 180 pounds) last season recorded three 31 tackles and three INTs for the Broncos. Doesn't have the greatest speed (4.53-second 40-yard dash), but possesses decent cover skills in addition to being a strong special teams contributor. |
| 7 | 14 (217) (From Miami) | Maurice Hurt | G | 6-3 | 318 | Florida |
| The first offensive lineman taken by the Redskins in this draft, the 6-foot-3, 318-pound Hurt played both guard positions at Florida. Tested positive for marijuana at the NFL combine. |
| 7 | 21 (224) (From Indianapolis) | Markus White | OLB | 6-4 | 262 | Florida State |
| The 6-foot-4, 262-pound White played defensive end for the Seminoles, but will convert to outside linebacker for the Redskins. Recorded 58 tackles and eight sacks last season. |
| 7 | 50 (253) | Chris Neild | DT | 6-2 | 319 | West Virginia |
| The 6-foot-2, 319-pound Neild will compete with Ma'ake Kemoeatu and Anthony Bryant for playing time as the anchor of Washington's 3-4 defense. |
