Draft analyst Tony Pauline reported on Friday that the Washington Commanders attempted to trade back up into the first round of the draft with Arizona tackle Jordan Morgan — who the Green Bay Packers picked 25th overall — in mind. It appears that the NFL was very interested in Morgan, as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admitted yesterday that Morgan was on his shortlist of players that the team was considering drafting at the 24th overall pick.
Earlier this week, I reported that the Washington Commanders would try and trade back into the back end of Round 1 for Jordan Morgan, and that’s exactly what they attempted to do late last night, albeit unsuccessfully.
