The Redskins have traded their 21st overall pick as well as third- and fifth-rounders (Nos 84 and 154) to Atlanta.
In return, the Redskins got two of the Falcons' second-round picks (No. 34 overall and No. 48 overall ) and a fourth-round pick (No. 103 overall). All in all a pretty good trade for the Redskins.
The Falcons used the pick to reach for USC offensive tackle Sam Baker.
We're still waiting to hear what Atlanta gave to the Redskins but it's safe to assume it includes

I'd say a great deal for the Skins. There were no sure things available at 21, and getting two second round picks gives them a chance to address several needs instead of rolling the dice on someone at 21.

Yeah, trading down was a sensible move. Shocking for The Vinny & Dano, actually.
But, they blew it with taking three receivers with the picks, while many quality linemen, which they need so vigorously, were available (on both sides of the ball).
