The selection of Alabama defensive lineman Da’Ron Payne marked the first time the Redskins have selected players from the same school in the first round of consecutive drafts (Jonathan Allen, 2017).

On day three, the ‘Skins had five picks, double dipping with Virginia Tech prospects Tim Settle and Greg Stroman. Both played at Stonewall Jackson High together as well.

Rookie minicamp opens up May 11th.
