How does that saying go – Danny Rouhier takes a day off and big DC sports news happens? Déjà vu Thursday, as literally MINUTES after a solo GP and the guys pumped the brakes on trading Sam Howell, he was indeed dealt to Seattle.

You can listen to that segment above before it goes to the content graveyard, but here was his initial reaction after seeing Sam go in a deal that moved the Commanders up the board in the middle rounds:

“They’re going up about 25 spots on a pair of picks…and my first thought is I really love this move for Washington,” Grant said. “Now, it’s not really a third and a fifth for Howell, but look at what they’ve got – 102 was their sixth pick, and they went all the way up to a mid-third, with five picks in the Top 78, and they have two seconds and three thirds. What a valuable leap.”
