Redskins Fans Approve of Dwayne Haskins at No. 15
The Washington Redskins got their guy — DMV native Dwayne Haskins — on Thursday night and they didn’t even have to swing some ridiculous trade to make it happen (as our own Zach Campbell feared earlier today). For once, things went their way; New York passed on Haskins at No. 6 in favor of a quarterback ranked No. 100 by The Ringer, clearing the way for Washington to take him at No. 15.

The pick was well-received by their fans, including those on Twitter and the thousands gathered at The Anthem in D.C. for a first-round draft party.

Haskins, an Ohio State alum, was caught on camera when the Giants made their pick at No. 6 and his reaction was priceless.

Whenever he’s ready for the top job, you can be sure those Redskins-Giants games will mean a little extra.
Washington’s next pick is in the second round at No. 46.
