LOVERRO: Redskins' draft grades rarely translate to wins

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

The Washington Redskins had a weekend to remember.

They drafted perhaps the second highest-rated quarterback, Dwayne Haskins, on the board without having to trade up in the first round — “one of the steals of the draft,” according to Pro Football Focus. Then they got back into the first round and picked a pass rusher, Montez Sweat.

They went on to draft the quarterback’s favorite receiver in college; an Indiana team captain at guard; a former Heisman Trophy candidate at running back; another receiver who Pro Football Focus also said could be the “steal of the draft”; another Alabama player, this one a center; two linebackers and a cornerback — 10 players in all.
