Redskins president: Giants had 'no clue' about our draft plans

Washington Redskins president Bruce Allen brushed off post-draft comments by New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman, who said he was certain that two teams would have taken quarterback Daniel Jones if the Giants had waited until pick No. 17 to select him.

The Giants ultimately opted to draft Jones with the No. 6 pick.

The Redskins - who drafted fellow quarterback Dwayne Haskins at No. 15 - were thought to be one of the teams Gettleman was referring to, but Allen insisted that wasn't the case.

"We picked the player we wanted to pick," he said on "NFL Total Access," according to NFL.com's Kevin Patra. "I'm almost positive Dave (Gettleman) has no clue what our draft board would be. I don't know which draft boards he knows, but he doesn't know ours."

Allen added that he expects Haskins to learn from the Redskins' long list of experienced passers.

"It's a great situation for any quarterback we're going to bring in and Dwayne is excited about it," Allen said.

"Our reigning NFL MVP, Patrick Mahomes, he learned at the hip of Alex Smith. And Alex is going to be part of our program - we still don't know from the doctors if he's going to play, and what time in the season, but he's going to be a part of our program. And (Haskins) will be able to learn from Case Keenum, and Colt McCoy, and then our coaching staff is filled with former quarterbacks, and of course, we have the great Doug Williams in the building, so it's going to be a great learning experience for (Haskins) and we want to make sure he has a great career."
