Chase Young or Three First Round Picks?

[Skinsfanatic]

Did a new Redskins mock draft tonight. This one assumes a trade with the Dolphins for their three first-rounders. Would you rather see this kind of draft or one where the Skins take Chase Young?

I want Chase Young. I think Okudah would be great. But, if the other two picks are not stellar (not the players in your mock, but the players we actually pick) we are likely blowing a rare opportunity for a great player. I think the top tackles would all be gone at 18, too.

If we can get a player at 66 that can come in and contribute, I would be even more fine with staying put. We have some available spots.

In 1981 the Skins had a similar draft set up except we didn't have the number 2 pick. We took Mark May at 20, Russ Grimm at 69 and Dexter Manley at 119. I'm not suggesting that will happen, but Young at 2 and a good pick in the 3rd would work for me.

I TOTALLY agree, but I wanted to mock it the other way and see how it would go. Any other year I would be ecstatic with this draft, but if we pass on Chase I think we will regret it for a decade.
