A million mock drafts, and one of the picks that people are debating the least is the one they should debate the most. Washington sits at No. 2. Ohio State defensive end Chase Young, widely considered the top prospect in the draft, will be available. Washington could do much worse than draft Young. But can it do better, by drafting a quarterback?
There are two ways to analyze a draft pick. One—the kind you see most often—is an evaluation of the player. This is pretty straightforward: Exceptional straight-line speed, a little undersized, fluid hips, sharp elbows, nice smile, sexy knees, above-average compete-a-bil-a-to-itive energy, etc.
