Chase Young or Three First Round Picks?

[KI Skins Fan]

On April 10th we should have a clearer view of whether or not some team will pay a high price to move up for Tua. That's because Tua is scheduled to take a medical exam tomorrow, March 9th, that could result in his final clearance to resume all football activities and, if he is cleared, the next step for him is his own Pro Day which is currently scheduled for Thursday, April 19th.

If Tua aces his Pro Day, I anticipate that multiple teams will attempt to move up to draft Tua. Those teams will need to draft ahead of Miami and it will cost a lot. Who knows who will try to move up, how far they'll try to move up, or if Miami will try to move up, as well.

One thing that no team that covets Tua wants to do is to trade a ton of draft capital only to see Tua taken ahead of them. That's why I think the Redskins #2 pick will be the target of these teams. I also think that the trade, if it happens, will be done prior to the draft so the team that wants Tua will not risk losing him to another team on a crazy draft day deal. Lastly, the #2 pick needs to be their target because if the Bengals surprise and take Tua, then the team that traded up for him can then take Burrow. Trying to read the minds of the teams drafting at #2, #3, and #4 is risky business.

The Skins need to continue to state and act like they are undecided between Young, Tua, or Burrow with their #2 pick in order to be able to receive and evaluate any trade offers they may get for that pick. It's simply smart business.
