Jay Gruden: Redskins to draft Best Player Available

Even coming off of an NFC East Championship season, the Washington Redskins are still a team with many needs. Arguably the biggest need lies on the defensive line. But head coach Jay Gruden recently stated that the team won’s focus in on one spot to take the best player available.

The Redskins have the 21st pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. The defensive tackle position is deeper this year than in recent memory. There are as many as six who go in the first round of the draft.

The Redskins could have their choice of a few those but according to Gruden, the team won’t lock themselves into any one position at the pick.
