Redskins draft RB Derrius Guice in second round after trading back

After trading with the San Francisco 49ers to move back in the second round, the Washington Redskins used the No. 59 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft on running back Derrius Guice of Louisiana State University on Friday night.

The Redskins traded their No. 44 pick and a fifth-round pick to the Niners in exchange for the No. 59 pick (the 27th pick of round two) and one of San Francisco’s third-round picks, No. 74 overall.

Guice fell in the second round after some analysts pegged him as the class’s second best running back behind Saquon Barkley and a possible first-rounder.
