Washington Redskins/Commanders Win
Summary: Jacksonville moved up from #16 to #10 overall, sending Washington a 2nd-round pick (Ben Ijalana, 49th, later traded) to select Blaine Gabbert. Analysis: Gabbert is among the worst first-round quarterback selections in modern NFL history, and Jacksonville paid a premium to move up for him. Washington got Ryan Kerrigan at #16 — a productive sack machine who recorded 95.5 career sacks — plus an extra 2nd-round pick. Gabbert started 24 games for Jacksonville and went 5-19 before being replaced. The F grade is fully warranted. Jacksonville sacrificed future capital and got one of the least productive starting quarterbacks in franchise history.
