1 (15): Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
2 (26): Montez Sweat, EDGE, Mississippi State
3 (76): Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio State
4 (112): Bryce Love, RB, Stanford
5 (131): Wes Martin, OG, Indiana
6 (153): Ross Pierschbacher, C, Alabama
7 (173): Cole Holcomb, LB, North Carolina
8 (206): Kelvin Harmon, WR, North Carolina State
9 (227): Jimmy Moreland, CB, James Madison
10 (253): Jordan Brailford, EDGE, Oklahoma State

The Redskins had to be biting their nails for 14 picks waiting for Dwayne Haskins to drop to their selection, and he did.

Washington now has a plan in place for the future to be able to move on from Alex Smith and their other backup types and move forward with DC’s son Dwayne Haskins.

Haskins is one of the most accurate passers in the NFL Draft, and he’s now got his sights set on taking down the Giants, his childhood team that passed on him for Daniel Jones. Yikes.

Montez Sweat was acquired via trade-up at the bottom of the first round, and I absolutely love the move. The Redskins got their quarterback of the future and a serious difference maker off the edge who can provide pass rush productivity right away. They had a great first round.

Haskins said after being drafted he wouldn’t mind if the Redskins took one of his Ohio State teammates, and they obliged, taking Terry McLaurin. McLaurin lit it up at the Senior Bowl and has some of the best intangibles of any player in this class. He will be a great player to have around regardless of Haskins’ presence.

Wes Martin and Ross Peirsbachcher provide the Redskins with some much needed interior line depth.

On day three, the Redskins got two huge steals, in my opinion.

The first is Kelvin Harmon, who I thought would be a second-round pick. I love that fit and value in the later portion of the draft.

I also love the value of Jordan Brailford, a productive edge player out of Oklahoma State. He should have a long NFL career as a rotational pass rusher.

Grade: A
