When I started this thread I thought there was a very good chance of a trade down. But after close examination, the only team with enough trade picks to justify NOT taking Chase Young is Miami. The only Miami picks worthy of Young were their #5 pick, another first rounder (#18) and probably a second rounder. Many have advocated that sort of trade.

The problem is, Miami isn’t going to make the offer. Most likely, they just have to sit at #5, do nothing, and Tua will fall in their laps. Besides Cincy, none of the next three drafting teams want a QB. The Coronavirus crisis will make every team more cautious in the draft.

The Redskins played the “we want to draft Tua to replace Haskins” card fairly well, but ultimately only conspiracy buffs, sports writers needing a bogus story to gain readership, or NFL fans who only saw Haskins first game, believed this idea. Miami doesn’t accept this propaganda from Rivera and that’s all that matters. Finally, big trade offers are very rare and often end up being huge busts for the team offering so many draft picks. Case in point is the RG3 deal. So, for many reasons, the big draft trade idea, with Miami is just a pipe dream. I am surprised that a well-respected and smart writer like Bosewell (Washington Post) would urge such a trade.

We will draft Chase Young and I’m extremely excited to see how he energizes the defense and gives us the first elite pass rush in over 25 years. I and many in the NFL just want to see how good Chase actually is and whether he’s even 50% of the hype.

Fortunately, he will have an outstanding Defensive Coordinator and HC to learn from AND they will properly use his talents. Also, the rest of the Redskin’s DL is just going to explode this season, as the spotlight shines on Chase. Unfortunately, it does take EVERY rookie time to master their position - even if he is the phenom everyone says he is. So Young will do well, we’ll see occasional flashes of greatness, but I doubt he’s going to blaze with full afterburners right from the first play. 10-12 sacks.

Rejoice Redskins fans! We may be drafting an outstanding player or maybe even a superstar with Chase. A hometown hero returning to his team. Just don’t expect miracles right away. Simply his presence and media attention will help Sweat, Allen, Payne and Ionnadis to improve and excel. I predict that the defense will go from the basement level to the top 10. We may be getting as big a superstar as Sean Taylor, but more importantly the defensive squad will be lifted by his play and will be the best part of this team at least next year and beyond. HAIL!
