There were rumors in the lead-up to the 2019 NFL Draft that the Washington Redskins would look to trade up into the top five to select a quarterback.
As it happened, however, the Redskins instead waited patiently at pick No. 15, watching as teams before them picked players at other positions, and as Dan Snyder’s gem, Dwayne Haskins, fell to their pick, without interruption. The Redskins selected Haskins, and he’ll be their quarterback for the foreseeable future.
Any time you can get a potential franchise quarterback without having to trade up from the middle of the first round, it’s a win.
