The Daily Twitter will be posted at the beginning of every day (at midnight in Washington, DC). The goal is to give readers a handy spot to check the Redskins beat writers & bloggers, and national sports journalists to keep up on the latest news about the Redskins, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

I wonder who they might be trying to add to the Jon Gruden/Mayock hierarchy....Hmm...
Don't judge me, but I ranked all 40 draft day trades from worst to first, starting with the Cardinals botching the Josh Rosen situation https://t.co/l4oG0TYwrg

Highlights from this article that relate to the Redskins:
33. Bills move up for tight end
- Bills get No. 96 (TE Knox)
- Redskins get No. 112, 131
I like the player the Bills went up to get and he fills a need, but this was a big overpay, equivalent to a pick around No. 178. I would have liked to see Buffalo get a pick back in this deal, or give up a later pick than No. 141. Worst case, you don’t land Dawson Knox but instead get a different tight end (like Foster Moreau) in Round 4 and still have another pick to use helping elsewhere on the roster.
1. Redskins add extra first-round talent
- Redskins get No. 26 (OLB Sweat)
- Colts get No. 46, 2020 2nd
From a value perspective, this is the best deal of the draft, as it should have cost Washington more to move up 20 picks and back into the first round. That’s not a major knock on the Colts -- they obviously missed out on the guy they were eyeing at No. 26 and decided that Redskins pick could end up being high next year. But Washington spends to go get a prospect they could have drafted at No. 15 without many people having a gripe, especially when it was reported Montez Sweat’s medical issues were a little overblown. Sweat was a home-run pick at No. 26, and the Redskins paid a bargain-bin price to get up to that spot and get him. That’s what makes this the best trade of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Good list, but - and it may be just me and some of my friends - I think Skins fans have travelled beyond “mad” and “disgruntled” to “apathetic.” Which really is worse for a team.

Guaranteeing the PS is a no-brainer for teams IF they trust their ability to evaluate. With an offset, little chances of losing money. The upside is the teams essentially are buying extra draft picks. https://t.co/yxDmxOyyaj

The most important thing an #nfl organization can do when “setting the table” for a young QB to succeed is to make sure there is 100% unconditional support from everyone that is involved in the players’ development. Any other agendas should never be tolerated.

Shortly before the #Colts were on the clock Bruce Allen called Chris Ballard directly and offered the '19 and '20 2nd round picks.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) May 2, 2019
Ballard told Allen he'd call him back.
After deciding to do it, Colts called back.
Eric Schaffer answered and then handed the phone back to Bruce
A reminder that with no "General Manager" in Washington, the #Redskins front-office job titles are as follows;

Bruce Allen - President
Doug Williams - Senior vice president of player personnel
Eric Schaffer - Senior vice president of football operations

I should feel bad for Rosen who hasn’t earned anything in the NFL yet? I was a 5th rounder & in 11 seasons 5 guys were specifically drafted to take my job. I could have about it or compete & f’ing fight for it. Period. That’s the @nfl & Life.His response proved Teams/GMs right https://t.co/eoHNWWX2bg
