Commanders trade No. 11 overall pick to the Saints
The Washington Commanders made the first trade of the night in the 2022 NFL draft, trading the No. 11 overall pick to the New Orleans Saints.
In return, Washington moves down to the No. 16 overall pick and adds third and fourth-round choices in this draft. Washington previously had only six overall selections. The Commanders sent their third-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts in the trade for quarterback Carson Wentz.
Washington’s picks in return are No. 98 overall and No. 120 overall from the Saints.
The Saints are trading the 16th pick, a third-rounder and a fourth-rounder to Washington for the 11th pick.
