The Washington Redskins weren’t able to trade down but were more than happy to get tackle Trent Williams with the No. 4 overall pick.
The Redskins went with Williams over Okung because they feel he is a better fit for a zone blocking scheme.
Williams is very likely to come in and start right away for a Redskins offensive line that is in shambles.
Washington likes the fact that he has the versatility to play multiple positions but see him as their left tackle for many years to come.
The team was able to do little else in the draft after trading away other picks to get Donovan McNabb and Adam Carriker.

The Washington Redskins have traded quarterback Jason Campbell to the Oakland Raiders for a fourth-round draft pick in 2012.
The Redskins have to be thrilled to receive such a high pick in return for Campbell, even if they don’t get to use it for another couple of years.
Campbell’s time in Washington had come to an end one way or another with the acquisition of star quarterback Donovan McNabb.
It was clear that Campbell was displeased with the way the organization had treated him and he wanted a chance to go somewhere else and start.
The Redskins never seem to have any draft picks, so getting one in 2012 in the middle rounds seems like a pretty good move for a player they could have just released.

The Washington Redskins have been trying desperately to trade defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.
The team signed Haynesworth to a $100 million contract just over a year ago and already wants to run him out of town.
Other teams in the NFL certainly aren’t showing much interest even in a year with no salary cap.
There was so much excitement about bringing in Haynesworth, but I said it was a bad move all along.
The guy has never played a full season, is guilty of taking off plays and was given entirely too much money.
