The Redskins have been active on the trade market during the 2018 NFL Draft. After moving down in Round 2 to add a third round pick, the team elected to move up in the sixth round to get a talented player who had slipped. They grabbed Alabama’s Shaun Dion Hamilton, and he is a good option at this point in the draft.
Hamilton was a starting linebacker at Alabama, but he was slowed by injuries during his final season at the school. He suffered a knee fracture that prematurely ended his 2017 campaign, and this was after he had suffered an ACL tear just before the end of the 2016 season.
