Redskins reportedly ‘increasingly open’ to the possibility of a trade down

Heading into the 2020 NFL Draft, there is one name at the top of the wishlist for most Washington Redskins fans. That would be Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young.

Young, the projected No. 2 overall pick, is the best overall player in this draft class and racked up 16.5 sacks in his final season with the Buckeyes. He’s a true game-changer on defense and could give the Redskins one of the best and most talented defensive lines in the NFL.
