2. Washington Redskins
Chase Young | EDGE | Ohio State
I think this spot will warrant some phone calls, but I don’t expect Washington to get the kind of deal they’ll need to pass up the chance to take the best prospect in this draft.
Young has been destined to be a top-2 draft pick since the moment he set foot on campus in Columbus, and he’s lived up to the hype all along the way. Even when he’s not racking up sacks and TFLs, Young is impacting the way opposing offenses game-plan on a weekly basis. Even when he’s not making plays, he’s setting up his teammates because the offense works so hard to avoid him.
Barring a massive trade-down haul, this is a huge no-brainer for Ron Rivera and his new crew. Young has Hall of Fame potential, no matter the scheme or the supporting cast, and he’s the kind of player that can transform an entire defense.
