Jay Gruden spoke after the Redskins picks were in last night
Jay Gruden stepped up to the podium last night to answer questions about the Redskins two first round picks. He discussed why they drafted Dwayne Haskins, Josh Rosen trade rumors, trading up rumors, and their new pass rusher Montez Sweat.
Alex Smith:

"It went really well," Gruden said of the team's first round.

Haskins "has all the tools to be an exceptional quarterback" and trading up for Sweat was a "no-brainer." https://t.co/QXGLEu6Muq
Trade up for Dwayne Haskins?:
Jay Gruden said there was talk of the #Redskins moving up to get Dwayne Haskins but in the end they felt there weren’t enough teams that needed a QB so they could sit at 15 and let him come to them. They were correct.

#1 QB on the board:
Haskins was the no 1 quarterback on the Redskins board

QB competition:
Gruden says they have “quarterback competitions coming out of the yin yang.” Says they’ll be “patient” with Haskins but at 15th overall, he deserves a shot to win the job if he can.

With Dwayne Haskins now in the fold, how does Jay Gruden see the QB situation shaking out? “We have quarterback competitions going out the yin-yang right now.” #Redskins pic.twitter.com/WYK9romHUX

Jay Gruden says he doesnt know what to expect from Haskins right away. Have to figure out reps between Haskins, Case and Colt.

Haskins at Ohio State:
Jay Gruden on Dwayne Haskins: "They do an excellent job with their drop-back passing game" at Ohio State. Understand how to change protections & read progressions. Speed at how fast game is - a challenge.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) April 26, 2019
Josh Rosen trade:
Gruden asked if the #Redskins have spoken to the #AZCardinals about Josh Rosen: “That never came up.“
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) April 26, 2019
Montez Sweat at 15?:
Jay Gruden said they were hoping Haskins fell to them and even considered Sweat at No. 15. #redskins pic.twitter.com/leE03IquFt

Gruden says that Sweat was in play at 15, but ultimately they were thrilled that they were able to get him at 26.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) April 26, 2019
He calls Sweat the perfect fit twice in his answer.
Montez Sweat medical concerns:
Gruden on Sweat’s medical:
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) April 26, 2019
“We did our due diligence. We feel confident he is a strong, healthy young man...who is 6’6.5” with a very large wing span.”
Perfect fit:
Jay Gruden to reporters on Montez Sweat: "The measurables are second to none... It's a perfect fit for us."

Montez Sweat - "I dont think they understand yet, but theyre going to find out real soon."
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 26, 2019
Montez Sweat - I got the biggest chip on my shoulder ever.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 26, 2019
Sweat says he's always played with a chip on his shoulder, but it's safe to say it's bigger than ever.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) April 26, 2019
"What you'll see from me is a relentless football player who continues to work on his craft."
Montez Sweat said he was misdiagnosed with his heart condition. He said a doctor from the Houston Texans diagnosed him correctly
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) April 26, 2019
Sweat on his medical condition:
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) April 26, 2019
"I was going through a lot of visits and they misdiagnosed me with a heart condition. On my last visit a doctor diagnosed me with the correct measurements."
Says that last visit was with the Houston Texans.
Sweat was asked about Ryan Kerrigan and he mistook him for a coach. Oh man
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) April 26, 2019
Sweat: "I'm very familiar with the Redskins coaching staff, but I'm going to get real familiar with them" then... "oh RYAN KERRIGAN. That's a pass rusher!"
