With the 105th pick in the 2019 Draft, the Washington Redskins select:
Daniel Jones, QB, Duke
Height: 6'5" Weight 221 lbs
Arms 32.5" Hands 9 3/4"
Why Jones?
A former 2-star recruit, Jones has worked with David Cutcliffe, the guy who groomed Peyton Manning, Eli Manning and Heath Shuler for the past 4 years. This guy eats, breathes, and sleeps football, and it shows. The redshirt Junior has wowed the college game with his ability to execute a pro-style offense. Just look at his highlights compared to anyone else's. The guy processes the entire field, uses his eyes to move safeties around, and then delivers accurate throws like a 10-year NFL veteran.

Jones is our #3 QB prospect this year, and the fact that he's lasted until the fourth round is absolutely absurd. He had first round buzz last year before returning to school, and could go in the first this year. So, we had to pull another trade to snag this premium value. We're excited to have a player of Jones's advanced skillset and work ethic. You need guys who love to play football, and we have the most football-dedicated QB this class.
Also, Jones is the only quarterback among the top 7 QB prospects who had no teammates expected to be drafted. Jones also played the hardest schedule among those seven quarterback prospects.
Washington draft selections:
#15 - Jonah Williams, traded for AJ Green, a true #1 WR that this team was missing
#46 - Chris Lindstrom - The most ready interior lineman in the draft to play in a power run scheme and play action pass. Look what we're doing next year.
#76 - Blake Cashman - An incredibly productive linebacker, the former walk-on posted top notch combine numbers, rating near the top for his position in every single test. It's the guys who love football who continue to get better in the NFL, and Cashman is one of those guys.
#96 - David Long - One of the better corners in the class, Long has all the tools you look for in a corner, plus he's a physical run defender--which fits nicely into a defense whose identity is stopping the run.
#98 - Khalen Saunders - One of the better lineman prospects in the draft, Saunders gives us depth behind our three starting defensive linemen.
#105 - Daniel Jones - Perhaps the most NFL-ready QB in this draft, the guy's exciting in every way I like. He is the most cerebral QB in the class, and can pick a defense apart with good accuracy and a lightning quick release.
