Every day now there seems to be a new report regarding what the Washington Redskins will or should do with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Regardless of whether or not a new report has surfaced, there for sure is always somebody of note giving their two cents about what the Redskins should do.
The latest person to offer up his opinion is former Washington great Joe Theismann. On Friday, Theismann went on with 106.7 The Fan and stated that he thinks it would be absolutely crazy for the Redskins to pursue any option other than OSU’s Chase Young.
They are out of their minds if they think that Tua will go No. 2 to the Redskins. That position belongs to Chase Young. Think of it: We’re going to a 4-3 defense. You have Jonathan (Allen). You have Daron (Payne). You have Matt (Ioannidis). You have (Montez) Sweat. You have (Ryan) Kerrigan. You have a rotation. Now, you add, which I think is the best athlete in the draft, to our defensive line. Jack Del Rio is sitting there going, ‘Yeah I can do something with this. I’m pretty excited about what we have.’ That is the only way the Redskins should go. Any other way they go would be a major surprise and it wouldn’t make sense. I think Chase Young is the guy there.
This, of course, is in response to a report that the Redskins plan to meet with Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa ahead of the draft, and some believe that they will legitimately consider drafting him over Young, pitting him against Dwayne Haskins in a QB battle for the ages this summer.
We don’t yet know quite enough to confidently predict what the Redskins will do, but it feels like they will lean towards agreeing with Theismann. Only time will tell.
