Redskins

Facing immense pressure from the New York media for selecting Duke quarterback Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Giants general manager Dave Gettleman explained his team was forced to take the passer that high because "at least two" other teams would have taken him before the No. 17 pick. 

That could very well be true.

Jones was highly rated by a number of organizations for his steady play and understanding of advanced passing concepts. What isn't true, however, is that the Redskins would have taken Jones at 15.

Had Jones been available when Washington selected the No. 15 pick, the team still would have taken Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins, per multiple sources. 

The Redskins are quite pleased with how their draft shook out, and that starts with Haskins as the team's first pick. 

Washington team president Bruce Allen went on a variety of national sports shows and explained that the 'Skins are the right team to develop Haskins.

Allen said that with veterans like Case Keenum and Colt McCoy, along with the presence of Alex Smith in the building, will help Haskins emerge as an NFL quarterback.
