Why a team likely wouldn’t trade up with the Redskins to get Chase Young

With most of the NFL’s free agency now in the books, the Washington Redskins will shift most of their attention to the 2020 NFL Draft. And ahead of the even, which begins three weeks from today, they’ll have a critical decision to make about their first-round pick.

The ‘Skins are armed with the No. 2 overall selection. And at the moment, it seems likely that they will stay put at that spot and spend the pick on Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young. The excellent pass rusher logged 16.5 sacks last season for the Buckeyes and is widely considered to be the best overall player in this draft class.
