- 2020 (216 overall) Kamren Curl out of Arkansas, played four years for Washington before leaving for free agency. Curl's highlight was a 76-yard Interception return for a touchdown vs the 49ers in 2020.
- 2019 (206 overall) Kelvin Harmon was a wide receiver out of NC State who showed promise in 2019. He had some size at 6-foot-2, 215 pounds. He caught 30 passes his rookie season. But a knee injury occurred and he never recovered in Washington or any other NFL team.
- 2017 (209 overall) At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds with great speed, Robert Davis looked like he might be a steal that late in the draft. However, Davis only caught one pass in his two seasons in Washington (2017, 2019). He hooked up with the Eagles but only caught one pass there as well.
- 2012 (213) Passionate Commanders fans will recall Richard Crawford's huge punt return against the Ravens in an overtime win in the 2012 season. But that is pretty much all they will remember from Crawford's time in Washington.
- 2007 (205) Carson Palmer's younger brother Jordan was also a quarterback, and the Redskins selected him. But Palmer only played in five games, threw two interceptions and zero touchdown passes in his NFL career.
- 1986 (213) LB Kurt Gouveia played nine seasons in Washington, primarily on special teams and passing situations on defense. He did intercept seven passes, including a huge interception in SB XXVI against Jim Kelly and the Buffalo Bills that he nearly returned for a touchdown.
- 1985 (219) CB Barry Wilburn was long and could run, both pluses for a corner. He played five seasons in Washington and totaled 19 interceptions. He had two interceptions in SB XXII against John Elway and the Denver Broncos. He also intercepted a pass in the 1987 season finale in Minnesota which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown.
