With the #NFLDraft tomorrow.... how are you feeling? pic.twitter.com/2ZHwnLtdpC

— #HTTR (@zVogss) April 23, 2020
This is the #Redskins most suspenseful and important draft since 2012 and RG3. Selecting Chase Young would give the team a big boost with fans and potentially returns to FedEx Field which has been taken over by other teams supporters.
— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) April 22, 2020
With one big trade done and final, could another one be on the way? The #Redskins have talked to multiple teams about a potential trade of LT Trent Williams, sources say. With the NFL Draft a day away, and a physical necessary, the clock is ticking ⏳
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 22, 2020
League source confirms, as @JosinaAnderson said, that things are “trending in the right direction” regarding a Trent Williams trade.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) April 22, 2020
However it doesn’t appear that’s with the #Jets. Source said they’re “not the frontrunner” at this point, although they’ve made a call.

What do the Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski acquisitions say about the direction of the Bucs? What does it mean for OJ Howard? The Bucs have not only been listening to offers for Howard — they were in discussions with the Redskins to trade him two months ago https://t.co/mBQmyGyovi
— JennaLaineESPN (@JennaLaineESPN) April 22, 2020
Sources: The #Dolphins have called the teams in front of them for a possible trade up from No. 5 and are gauging the price to come up to No. 3 to potentially take an offensive tackle. We could see a run on tackles in the Top 10 like never before.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 22, 2020
The idea that the Dolphins are going to trade significant draft capital to move up two spots to take an OT seems absurd. What are the odds that the OT you have graded first is really better than the OT you have graded second? 52% maybe?
— Aaron Schatz (@FO_ASchatz) April 22, 2020
The Dolphins want to get ahead of the Giants, not for Tua, but for the best tackle. That's real.
— Michael Lombardi (@mlombardiNFL) April 22, 2020
We will see. But why trade up 2 picks for Tua? Who is leapfrogging them at 5? I don’t think anyone. They only need to leapfrog for an OT
— Stone Cold Bill Belichick (@guru_scout) April 22, 2020
Interesting note on the Trent Williams situation: The #Redskins have closed the window for Williams and his agent Vince Taylor to work our a trade, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Teams often want full control of these situations heading into the draft and that’s the case here.

Source: Regarding LT Trent Williams: There's "an opportunity to have something done shortly." I'm told there's been "some really good constructive conversations" and there is "hope to get it done soon." My understanding is, it's a positive situation & the process is ongoing.

What about yesterday where the browns may or may not trade for him report?
— Tony Zale (@tony_zale) April 22, 2020
Now heard reports of Bucs being unlikely, Jets not being front runners. Would leave the Browns as most likely suitor for Trent, I’d guess. https://t.co/DadNsT1Vxi
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) April 22, 2020
There are definite discussions going on with the Cleveland Browns regarding trading Trent Williams.
— Julie Donaldson (@JDonaldsonNBCS) April 22, 2020
Highly unlikely the Jets would be involved. Stay tuned folks. #httr #redskins #TrentWilliams
Dunno... but awhile ago they wouldn’t part with a 2. So...
— Julie Donaldson (@JDonaldsonNBCS) April 22, 2020
A first for Trent Williams is laughable when compared to the compensation for others
— Bro Exotic (@chilllblinton) April 22, 2020
As a Browns fan, I could see Njoku being involved.
— Bo Bishop (@eatmorefuture) April 22, 2020
Gotta believe David Njoku is firmly on the trading block. Obviously Hooper is TE1. UDFA Stephen Carlson had a solid rookie season and is easily the best blocking TE on the roster. And now CLE just re-signed Pharaoh Brown.
— Roberto Shenanigans (@Rob_Shenanigans) April 23, 2020
Njoku was benched 4 games last year for behavior issues.
Browns make plenty of sense for Trent. Have draft capital and cap room. https://t.co/KL8wHhSb4h
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) April 22, 2020
On TW: While a deep class of OTs, what I've heard from a few people is no one as good as Williams...Skins have been receiving more calls on him, as stated the other day. 1st rd pick would be surprising; would top best previous offer by a good amount. Skins still want 2nd rd value
— John Keim (@john_keim) April 22, 2020
And during the draft if a move is made, there's not much time to get TW approval. So if a team offers a high pick regardless of the contract situation, he's gone. Feeling, too, is hard to demand a trade then get picky.
— John Keim (@john_keim) April 22, 2020
This thing is fluid so could happen before, during or right after the draft. How's that for a strong prediction?
— John Keim (@john_keim) April 22, 2020
John what happens if he's traded for a 1st in the middle of the draft but then doesn't pass a physical?
— Evan Schwartz (@e_schwartz_) April 22, 2020
Because on dan Patrick’s show someone mentioned it. So it spread fast.
— John Keim (@john_keim) April 22, 2020
Ha. Nah business was starting to pick up over the weekend or so.
— John Keim (@john_keim) April 23, 2020
Trent’s value will likely depend on how the OT situation plays out in the draft. This is a strong class, but if a team doesn’t get their guy, Trent’s value can rise. #httr #redskins #TrentWilliams
— Julie Donaldson (@JDonaldsonNBCS) April 22, 2020
My latest info on Trent Williams — still a work in progress. Yeah, I know... not much. Everyone is ready to be done with this. #tistheseason #httr #redskins

Lol, for those who're blocked: Trent followed Baker Mayfield, OBJ, and Jarvis Landry on Instagram, and posted a cryptic wink + eyes + praying emoji... #ICantBelieveImDoingThis

Upon further analysis, he follows current/former Redskins QBs, Oklahoma QBs (Kyler and Baker), Tom Brady, and Cam Newton.

For ATL to get from 16 to 2, they'd have to offer 47, 78, their 2021 1st and their 2021 2nd. https://t.co/zZmZP3DGIn
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) April 23, 2020
The cost for the Falcons to jump to 2 would be pretty high but odds are the current GM/coach combo would be gone anyway if it turned out to be a really bad trade.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) April 23, 2020
From this time last year, we heard national media saying Skins were looking to trade up for Haskins, local beat were adamant they’d stay at 15. This year national media suggesting a trade back, local beat suggests they won’t get a big enough offer and will stay at 2. https://t.co/cFfWrpaDka
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) April 22, 2020
Getting a lot of questions on Redskins trading #2. I am told it would take something Ridiculous. Something Outrageous. Can not confirm if any team has come up with what equals that. #httr #redskins #NFLDraft
— Julie Donaldson (@JDonaldsonNBCS) April 22, 2020
itans, Chargers, Panthers, and Bengals didn't have a "need" at QB 3 years ago, when all 4 teams passed on both Mahomes and Watson.
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) April 22, 2020
Those 4 teams have all moved on from their QBs since then. Teams are more likely to wait too long to move on from a QB than give up too fast.
Per the Redskins, if you go back to the very beginning of franchise history, they've taken the most players from Notre Dame (34). USC second with 30, Alabama 26.

Claypool is one of my favorite players at any position in this class. The guy can just play. I think he's going to be a very good receiver at the NFL level and will easily outperform is draft slot. https://t.co/LaBCKcdsK4

One of the biggest wild cards of the draft.
Yes. I absolutely would rank Tua as a better player with more talent and upside. I’ve seen him play at a high level for since he stepped onto Bama’s campus three years ago. I grade off the entire body of work not just one season. Your resume matters.. All of it. https://t.co/NuyruYShHt

One draft prospect who got a jumpstart on the lockdown: Wyoming LB Logan Wilson, who had his pro day, visited the #Eagles and had in-person meetings with the #Bengals, #Cardinals, #Giants, #Rams, among others. Over 20 team meetings/video calls in all. A name to remember on Day 2.

Deepest #NFL wide receiver draft class in forever. Antonio Brown can’t get a job. Dez Bryant wants back in. Marquise Lee and Josh Gordon on the market. No offseason passing program. No free agent workouts. A bigger premium than ever on retaining 2019 NFL veterans.
