2. Washington Redskins
Chase Young | EDGE | Ohio State
Another no-brainer pick, but good on Washington for resisting the urge to entertain trade offers for this selection, and taking a potential Hall of Famer instead.
Young has been destined for the top of this draft from the moment he set foot on the field in Columbus. A dominant edge defender who is just as disruptive against the run as he is the pass, Young can impact the game in big ways, even when he’s not blowing up the stat sheet.
It’s hard to get a “steal” at No. 2 overall, but when you get the best overall player in the entire draft anywhere other than the No. 1 overall pick, that’s a steal. The Ron Rivera era in Washington starts with a huge addition for his defense.
