The Washington Redskins signed eight of the their 10 selections from the 2015 NFL Draft and agreed to terms with one other on Monday.

Only the team’s first selection in this year’s draft — first-round tackle Brandon Scherff of Iowa, who was selected fifth overall — remains without an agreement.

Signings include outside linebacker Preston Smith (Mississippi State, second round), running back Matt Jones (Florida, third round), wide receiver Jamison Crowder (Duke, fourth round), offensive lineman Arie Kouandjio (Alabama, fourth round), linebacker Martrell Spaight (Arkansas, fifth round), safety Kyshoen Jarrett (Virginia Tech, sixth round), wide receiver Evan Spencer (Ohio State, sixth round) and center Austin Reiter (South Florida, seventh round) have all signed their contracts.

In Addition, sixth-round cornerback Tevin Mitchel (Arkansas) agreed to terms but has not yet signed.

The Redskins also re-signed offensive tackle Ty Nsekhe, who was cut last week to make room for the draft picks and undrafted free agents, and waived cornerback Courtney Bridget, a 2014 college free agent.

Rookie minicamp is scheduled Friday through Saturday May at Redskins Park.
