Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Jacksonville sent the 16th and 49th picks to Washington in 2011 to move to No. 10 for quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Gabbert went 5-22 as a Jaguars starter and was traded after three seasons. Washington selected Ryan Kerrigan at No. 16, landing a four-time Pro Bowler and franchise sack leader, while also controlling the second-round asset. The value gap makes this one of Washington's strongest draft-day wins.
Trade 2 of 2
Indianapolis moved up four spots for offensive lineman Ben Ijalana, sending Washington picks No. 53 and No. 152. Injuries prevented Ijalana from becoming a meaningful Colts contributor. Washington repeatedly recycled both acquired choices, turning them into portions of a broader 2011 draft-day chain that produced Leonard Hankerson, DeJon Gomes, Maurice Hurt, Roy Helu and Aldrick Robinson. The volume of usable downstream value clearly exceeded Indianapolis' return.
