In Layman’s terms, Washington moves up four spots in the fourth round, seven in the fifth, while gaining an extra pick in the fifth.
With that said, here’s where the Redskins currently stand in the draft order, pending official approval of Cravens to Broncos’ trade:
| ROUND | PICK | OVERALL |
| 1 | 13 | 13 |
| 2 | 12 | 44 |
| 4 | 9 | 109 |
| 5 | 5 | 142 |
| 5 | 26 | 163 |
| 6 | 14 | 188 |
| 7 | 13 | 231 |
| 7 | 23 | 241 |
The Redskins acquired the No. 241st pick overall (No. 23 in seventh round) from the Los Angeles Rams in a trade that sent tight end Derek Carr to the Rams.
The Redskins traded away their third-round pick (78th pick overall) to the Kansas City Chiefs along with cornerback Kendall Fuller for quarterback Alex Smith earlier this month.
