Twitter can’t believe how little Redskins got in return for Trent Williams

The Washington Redskins finally found a trade partner for Trent Williams, shipping him to the San Francisco 49ers during the draft on Saturday. It wasn’t the blockbuster trade everyone thought it’d be, though.

Washington got a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft and a third-rounder in 2021 for Williams, who’s a seven-time Pro Bowler.

Twitter couldn’t believe how low the return was for the Redskins, with most people reacting in utter disbelief.

Trent Williams for a 3rd and a 5th?

Love this for Kyle Shanahan and the #Niners. https://t.co/Eqlq4IMjvv

Laremy Tunsil went for two first-round picks. https://t.co/HMCuEW441Q

Sheesh that's a steal. The 9ers' line is loaded https://t.co/tvzqOfQH3P

So a 5 and 3. For any acquiring team it wasn’t about the low compensation required but the salary required. https://t.co/w66NomFKck

Rich getting richer. Plus Aiyuk and Kinlaw. John Lynch playing chess. https://t.co/kTmtKML81d

.@49ers get @TrentW71 for a 5 & 3? Wow! Kinlaw and Williams into the Trenches. Could the best rushing football team become better? #BaldysBreakdowns

Great value for both teams – 49ers get a potential Pro Bowler for cheap, Redskins get value for someone who wasn't gonna play for them.

Wonder if this means Joe Staley is leaving. https://t.co/K3OGXxHDUT

How did Washington go from demanding Denzel Ward from the Browns to settling for a 5th and 3rd on Williams?

49ers are going to average 49 points a game.

The 49ers replaced a potential HOF LT with a surefire HOF LT and somehow upgraded on an already great player.

My head hurts.

Damn. The 49ers just got Trent Williams for some leftovers.
