*******************************************************************************

Here we go in the second round!

7:20 PM: A run on receivers already at the top of the second round. The Bengals open up with Tee Higgins from Clemson with the top pick and the run on 6'4 passing targets continue next with the Colts at No. 34 (acquired via the Redskins) and Michael Pittman from USC.

D'Andre Swift then goes to the Lions from Georgia.

The pick is in for the Giants too!

7:35 PM : The Giants go defense as many expected and take Xavier McKinney from Alabama.

7:41 PM: Kyle Dugger from Lenoir-Rhyne goes to the Patriots at safety, followed by Spotsylvania, Virginia and Penn State pass rusher Yetur Gross-Matos going to the Carolina Panthers.

Robert Hunt, a guard from Louisiana, just went to the Dolphins.

7:57 PM: Laviska Shenault Jr. goes to Jay Gruden and the Jaguars at No. 42.

8:40 PM: Was really hoping Chase Claypool was going to last for the Redskins, which I did not expect, but instead he goes to Pittsburgh and gets to work with Ike Hilliard, the former Skins receivers coach.

8:41 PM: The Eagles who have seen Carson Wentz unable to stay healthy for the last three playoff years just took Jalen Hurts! I like this pick for the Eagles.

9:06 PM: Another door closed for a Trent Williams trade. Ezra Cleveland going to the Minnesota Vikings late in the 2nd round!

9:23 PM: We're getting closer to No. 66 and the Redskins third-round selection as we cross past 61.

Also - the Trent Williams to the 49ers rumors are picking up steam.

9:45 PM: The Redskins just took a skilled talent, Antonio Gibson, from Memphis who can split as a running back, receiver and kick returner.

From Rick Snider

From Chris Russell:

Some quotes and observations from Redskins Head Coach Ron Rivera and VP of Player Personnel Kyle Smith on Gibson's selection.

Rivera said Gibson's special teams contributions were a factor in his selection. "This guy is going to get on the field for us early."

They love Gibson's versatility.

Rivera also just mentioned how Gibson played some wildcat quarterback at Memphis.

"This is a very multi-talented young man."

On a Trent Williams trade:

Rivera said there is "no rush" to a Trent Williams trade.
