The third and final day of the NFL Draft kicked off on Saturday with the Washington Redskins trading seven-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Trent Williams to the San Francisco 49ers for a fifth-round pick this year and a third round selection in 2021.
The trade came early in the fourth round of the draft, which was taken to a “virtual” format for the first time ever, as the COVID-19 outbreak has forced prospects, coaches and personnel into lockdown.
Williams, who sought a trade away from Washington after a long-standing dispute with the team, will land with the Niners as the reigning NFC champions lose six-time Pro Bowler Joe Staley, who plans to retire, according to the NFL Network.
