You wouldn’t think that the Redskins would be thinking about taking a quarterback in round one of the 2020 NFL Draft after picking Dwayne Haskins last season with the 15th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, but that’s not stopping the Skins from talking about players under center.
Reports are the Redskins are going to bring in two very high profile quarterbacks that could be gone in round one of the 2020 NFL Draft, that being LSU’s Joe Burrow and Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa.
The Redskins are bringing in Joe Burrow and Tua for meetings.

Ron Rivera says meeting with Burrow and Tua is not just due diligence. They’re real meetings. Rivera likes Dwayne Haskins but says all options are on table.

It’s interesting that the Redskins are talking publicly about quarterbacks, but it also could be a motivator for Haskins, who last season threw for 1365 yards with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions in nine games, seven starts.
Many think that Burrow is a lock to go number one overall to the Cincinnati Bengals, and many feel Tagovailoa is going to wind up with the Miami Dolphins, who need a quarterback.
Could the Redskins pull a stunt like what the Arizona Cardinals did last year in the draft? They basically dumped Josh Rosen, who was a first-round pick in 2018, and took QB Kyler Murray first overall.
As of now it looks like a smart move, as Murray had a very good rookie season, while Rosen, traded to Miami, spent most of the season wearing a baseball cap on the sidelines.
We don’t have enough draft picks
Due diligence. Be safe just in the even that Cincy takes CHASE YOUNG over a QB, or trades down with another club that wants YOUNG and leap-frogs us.
We don’t have enough draft picks.
There’s talk of TRENT WILLIAMS busting a couple high ones.
I think not.
I’m thinking a late second if we’re lucky.
More likely a mid-round third and a sixth probably with the JETS
Say,079 and 192.
More probable with TWill on the move is a trade back scenario with MIAMI.
They get 002 and QUINTON DUNBAR.
We get 005, 026, 039, and 186.
So, with those events a fait accompli, let’s draft
005 – MEKHI BECTON OT Louisville
026 – KENNETH MURRAY LB Oklahoma
039 – ASHTYN DAVIS FS California
066 – DENZEL MIMS WR Baylor
079 – HUNTER BRYANT TE Washington
105 – ESSANG BASSEY CB Wake Forest
141 – BRAVVION ROY DT Baylor
148 – ALEX TAYLOR OT South Carolina State
186 – STEPHEN SULLIVAN HB LSU
192 – DARRYNTON EVANS RB Appalachian State
216 – BRYCE PERKINS QB Virginia
229 – JOHN HIGHTOWER Boise State
