The Washington Redskins are reportedly in the market for a quarterback and, one day ahead of the 2019 NFL Draft, are targeting Ohio State product Dwayne Haskins, sources indicated to ESPN's Dianna Russini.

Washington owns the 15th overall selection but has explored moving into the top five picks, reports NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The New York Jets (third overall) have publicly expressed a desire to move down the board.

The Redskins do not have any plans to trade for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen, sources told Russini.

Haskins, Kyler Murray, and Daniel Jones are quarterbacks considered to be potential first-round picks.

The Redskins are thought to be in search of the quarterback of their future. The club traded for veteran signal-caller Case Keenum, who has one year left on his contract. Alex Smith and Colt McCoy are recovering from major injuries.
