LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The Washington Redskins made three selections on Day 2 of the 2014 NFL Draft, selecting Stanford linebacker Trent Murphy in the second round (No. 47 overall) and adding Virginia tackle Morgan Moses (No. 66 overall) and Nebraska guard Spencer Long in the third round (No. 78 overall).

Murphy (6-5, 250) started 42 of the 44 career games in which he played at Stanford, starting the final 41. He amassed 160 tackles (102 solo), 32.5 sacks and two interception returns for touchdowns. As a senior in 2013, Murphy was named a consensus All-American, first team Pac-12 selection and ranked second nationally with 1.07 sacks per game.
Murphy, 23, was born on Dec. 20, 1990. He attended Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, where he was named the 2008 Arizona Republic All-State Defensive Player of the Year as a senior and winning a state championship as a junior in 2007.

Moses (6-6, 314) started 42 of the 48 career games in which he played at Virginia, 30 at right tackle and 12 at left tackle. As a senior in 2013, he received All-ACC honors while helping Kevin Parks become the Cavaliers first 1,000-yard rusher in a season since 2004.

Moses, 23, was born on March 3, 1991. He attended Meadowbrook H.S. in North Chesterfield, Va., where he was a two-time all-state, all-region and all-district selection.

Long, 23, was born on Nov. 8, 1990, and attended Elkhorn (Neb.) H.S.

NOTES ON THE SELECTION OF TRENT MURPHY

· Murphy is the first selection of the Jay Gruden era and is the 35th selection by the Redskins under Executive Vice President/General Manager Bruce Allen.

· Murphy is the 432nd selection made by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967) and the 34th second-round selection in that time frame. He is the 52nd second-round selection by the Redskins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936.

· The selection marks the third time the Redskins have taken a pass rusher with their first selection in the last six drafts (DE/LB Brian Orakpo in 2009 and LB Ryan Kerrigan in 2011).

· Including the selection of CB David Amerson with their initial pick last year, the Redskins have now selected a defensive player with their top pick in consecutive seasons for the first time since drafting S Sean Taylor, CB Carlos Rogers, LB Rocky McIntosh and S LaRon Landry with their first selections in the 2004-07 NFL Drafts.

· Murphy is the 15th Stanford product selected by the Redskins all-time, joining E Keith Topping (1936), B Bill Joslyn (1944), B Willard Sheller (1944), B Bill Shipkey (1945), C Jim McCurdy (1945), B Lynn Brownson (1947), B Bob Anderson (1948), B Bob Mathias (1953), E Sam Morley (1954), QB Don Bunce (1972), DE Duncan McColl (1977), G Brad Badger (1997), QB Todd Husak (2000) and LB Jarred Newberry (2005).

· Murphy is the sixth Stanford product selected by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967), tied for 11th-most by a single college in that timeframe.

· Murphy’s selection at No. 47 marks the highest the Redskins have taken a Stanford product since selecting E Keith Topping with the No. 11 overall pick in the 1936 NFL Draft.

· With Murphy’s selection, the Redskins used a second-round pick to draft a linebacker for the first time since selecting McIntosh in the second round (No. 35 overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft.

· Murphy is the third player selected by the Redskins at No. 47 all-time, joining T Larry Lutz (1936) and DE Shane Collins (1992).

· All three of Washington’s all-time selections at No. 47 have played collegiately in the conference now known as the Pac-12.

· Murphy is the first Pac-12 Conference player selected by the Redskins since selecting UCLA WR Terrence Austin in 2010. The two are the only Pac-12 products selected by the Redskins in the Allen era.

NOTES ON THE SELECTION OF MORGAN MOSES

· Moses is the second selection of the Jay Gruden era and is the 36th selection by the Redskins under Executive Vice President/General Manager Bruce Allen.

· Moses is the 433rd selection made by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967) and the 32nd third-round selection in that time frame. He is the 61st third-round selection by the Redskins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936.

· The selection marks the earliest the Redskins have taken an offensive lineman since selecting two-time Pro Bowler Trent Williams with the fourth overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft.

· Moses is the first player from the University of Virginia selected by the Redskins since the team picked G Jim Huddleston in the sixth round of the 1986 NFL Draft. The Redskins’ last four selections from UVA have all been offensive linemen.

· Moses’ selection is the highest the Redskins have ever selected a UVA product. Jonny Papit was previously the highest-selected UVA player by the Redskins at the No. 76 overall pick in the 1951 NFL Draft.

· Moses is the sixth player selected by the Redskins at No. 66 all-time, joining G Rotta Holland (1937), B George Peters (1942), B Dick Lynch (1958), KR Mike Oliphant (1988) and DT Tracy Rocker (1989).

· Moses is the seventh Redskins draft pick in the Allen era to have competed collegiately in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the most of any conference in that timeframe. The Redskins selected three ACC products in both the 2011 (Clemson’s Jarvis Jenkins, Miami’s Leonard Hankerson and Florida State’s Markus White) and 2013 drafts (NC State’s David Amerson, Florida State’s Chris Thompson and Florida State’s Brandon Jenkins).

· Long was the Redskins’ second pick of the third round, marking the first time the Redskins had made two third-round selections since 2002 (CB Rashad Bauman and WR Cliff Russell).
