The Washington Redskins selected Indiana quarterback Nate Sudfeld in the sixth round of the NFL draft, Saturday, April 30, 2016.

After stockpiling plenty of young talent and winning the NFC East, the Washington Redskins went into the NFL draft with fewer holes to fill, giving them the flexibility to address more specific short- and long-term needs. The Redskins used their first-round pick on a receiver in TCU's Josh Doctson who could help replace Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson if one or both leave in free agency after next season, added depth at quarterback by taking Indiana's Nate Sudfeld in the sixth round and acquired three more picks for next year. ''We were 9-8 last year and won the division,'' coach Jay Gruden said Saturday.
