The Washington Commanders surprised a lot of people today by trading away both of their defensive ends. Most people expected one or the other to get moved, but Washington is cashing in both of their former 1st round picks for a pair of Day 2 draft picks next year. Montez Sweat was traded to the Chicago Bears for a 2nd round pick, and Chase Young was then sent to the San Francisco 49ers for one of their compensatory 3rd round picks next year.
