The Washington Redskins joined the National Football League (NFLHC) in 2017. After completing the 2017 NFLHC Expansion Draft, they participated in the 2017 entry draft and selected Michael Barber, a cornerback from Florida State. The team's most recent first round selection was in 2023 when they chose Maurice White, a running back from Oklahoma.

Every year, each NFL franchise seeks to add new players to its roster through a collegiate draft known as "the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting", which is more commonly known as the NFL Draft. Teams are ranked in inverse order based on the previous season's record, with the worst record picking first, and the second worst picking second and so on. The two exceptions to this order are made for teams that appeared in the previous Super Bowl; the Super Bowl champion always picks 32nd, and the Super Bowl loser always picks 31st. Teams have the option of trading away their picks to other teams for different picks, players, cash, or a combination thereof. Thus, it is not uncommon for a team's actual draft pick to differ from their assigned draft pick, or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in any round due to these trades.

The Redskins have never selected the number one overall pick in any draft. They picked second once, when they selected quarterback Tanner Bowman in 2021.
