ASHBURN, Va., -- The Washington Redskins didn't have to trade up for quarterback Dwayne Haskins after all. The Redskins drafted Haskins with their 15th overall pick in the first round, giving them a quarterback of the future.
There has long been a split opinion on Haskins within the Redskins' organization, especially when it came to possibly trading up to acquire him. Haskins attended three years of high school at Bullis in suburban Maryland. Redskins owner Dan Snyder's son is a sophomore football player at Bullis.
Haskins also becomes the first Big Ten quarterback to be drafted in the first round since Kerry Collins in 1995.
