The Redskins made a move that few expected on Thursday night. They traded up into the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. While some had thought the team might move into the top-five picks for a quarterback, few expected them to combine their second-day resources and move into the back half of the first round. But that’s exactly what they did.
At the 26th pick, the Redskins elected to make a deal with the Indianapolis Colts. They sent the Colts their second-round pick (46) and a 2020 second-round pick to Indy for the first-round selection. And with the pick, they took Montez Sweat.
