Washington Redskins

Fans of the Washington Redskins had to be nervous as the draft approached and rumors started that Daniel Snyder was about to own the draft. Fears of what he did in 2012 when he mortgaged the future for Robert Griffin III started to creep in, but then he actually did own the draft — without having to make any crazy moves.

Staying put at No. 15 ended up being a fantastic move for him and team president Bruce Allen as they landed arguably the best passer in the draft in Dwayne Haskins from Ohio State. With everyone expecting him to go to the Giants at No. 6, their NFC East rival gift wrapped the Redskins the best quarterback after Kyler Murray.

Their draft only got better from there as they traded up for Montez Sweat who was a steal at No. 26. Then in the third, they got one of Haskin’s top targets at Ohio State in Terry McLaurin. They rounded things out with potential starters such as running back Bryce Love and wide receiver Kelvin Harmon.

While the draft was great for Washington, their offseason had a couple of moves that were questionable. They traded for Case Keenum, who doesn’t really move the needle at quarterback but does at least offer a veteran backup to Haskins. They also landed safety Landon Collins, who is incredibly talented but was given a whole lot of money to play a position that has been devalued in years.

Even though they overpaid for him, the Redskins roster is much better now than it was in 2018 and the front office should be praised for that.

Grade: B+
