Redskins trade 34th pick to Cowboys

By Jake Russell

The Washington Redskins traded the 34th overall pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for the 47th overall (2nd round) and 78th overall (3rd round) selections in the draft.

Washington has many needs to address including offensive tackle, offensive guard, safety, inside linebacker, cornerback, pass-catching running back and tight end.

The Redskins now hold seven picks in the draft after this trade with two coming in the third round.

New Era has unveiled its new line of NFL Draft hats, including what the newest NFL draftees will wear when they walk across the stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

Like last year, the Washington Redskins don’t have a first round pick so whoever the team drafts first will likely not be on hand to wear the hat when they pick 34th overall.

Without further ado, here is a look at the newest Redskins hats from New Era. The first hat pictured, the 59FIFTY, is what the draft picks will wear. It features a light-sensitive bill that includes the team’s nickname, city and logo.
