Is Chase Young to the Washington Redskins a sure thing anymore?
It’s a question that has to be asked, now that it’s been reported that cornerback Quinton Dunbar has requested to be traded from the team.
With the No. 2 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, plus the need for a cornerback that has now been multiplied by the 10th degree, the Redskins have a highly valuable asset that the could do a number of things with. Of course, one of those things is draft Young, who is thought to be the best player in the draft. Another option is to trade the pick away, picking up a hoard of draft picks in return.
Let’s say that the Redskins trade the No. 2 pick to the Miami Dolphins, who have the No. 5 pick. The Dolphins would draft QB Tua Tagovailoa, and Young would likely go No. 3 to the Detroit Lions. At No. 5, the Redskins would miss out on Young, but they could take Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah, who is the draft class’s top cornerback prospect. They would also have a number of other picks to work with as they try to fill out their roster.
This is absolutely not a sure thing, but the bombshell of Dunbar wanting out has to at least force the Redskins into considering their options with the No. 2 pick.
