Chase Young or Three First Round Picks?

[skinsfaninok]

2) Washington Redskins – Tua Tagovailoa, QB Alabama

Washington spent a first-round pick on Dwayne Haskins during the 2019 NFL Draft and traded a fifth-round pick for Kyle Allen to compete and push for the starting job. While both options showed flashes during their starting stretches last season, neither have the ceiling of Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa. Adding him into the quarterback room creates competition, and either Tagovailoa or Haskins could be moved down the line for draft capital. If Washington truly believes in Haskins, then others around the league will as well, meaning he’ll hold value even if he loses out in a competition with Tagovailoa.

The Athletic's mock draft.

I actually hope teams do think we will take Tua (It's not happening) but we can add draft picks if so. Again I love Chase Young and am all for drafting him but what if we can get 3 1's and a 2 for that pick? Would you really hate that?

It seems very unlikely to me that any team would offer 3 firsts and a second to get Tua. Certainly Miami will not do that when they are pretty much guaranteed to get Herbert or Love if they don't get Tua.

I’d never underestimate a team getting tunnel visioned on a potential franchise qb. See rg3. I think most likely the skins draft young and don’t look back but ... there’s a chance a team gets enamored with tua.

If tua becomes a franchise qb, the trade is worth it

I agree with u guys, the trade isn't happening and we are taking Young but it would be cool to have all those picks

[Ohioskins]

RG3 is not a good example. That was our team owner who wanted him and not many teams have an owner who behaved the way Danny did in the 2012 era.

I’d rather take Young than get three first rounders. We need a game changer. Haven’t had one in years. Someone gameplanners have to account for and still struggle to stop.

Three very good players makes for a tempting option but you can’t forget how much better Sweat, Allen, Ioannidis and Payne will be when Young enters the picture.

Great players create that extra bit more than the whole. The three picks would just be a sum of the parts.

Yeah I think if it wasn’t Young sitting there for us, id take the pics...but he seems like a genuine blue chip game wrecker. Can’t pass on that.

If someone offers 3 first rounders you take that hands down. I seriously doubt Miami or any other team would do that.

They won't unless Cincy takes Young and Burrow is there at 2

The idea that draft picks slot into NFL careers in line with their draft positions is highly unreliable. Busts happen at 1/2 and throughout the draft. Game-changers turn up throughout the early rounds. The key is to maximize picks to hit a winner. There’s no one player who’s turning this franchise around.

The argument is Bosa last yr for SF... That team had a very good defense and a damn good secondary , it also had a good offense all season.

We do not have either of those right now, so I agree with you. 1 player will not change this franchise right away but it sure can help build a good team. Bust do happen every year so that's why in my opinion I'd rather have 3 1's instead of just 1.

I don't understand why we Redskins fans are more apt to believe the propaganda of other teams than we are to believe our own team executives. Apparently, we're ready to believe that Miami would be content to draft Herbert or Love if they can't get Tua. I don't believe that for a second. Perhaps they're trying to get RR to tip his hand.

And I clearly remember that people here were saying that RR was just putting up a smoke screen when he said that we would thoroughly evaluate Burrow and Tua as possible #2 picks. Of course he evaluated them. It's part of doing a good job. In all likelihood, the #2 draft pick is set in jello at this time.

Meanwhile, the mind games continue as the suspense builds. That's one reason why we love the draft so much.

I'd almost bet my stimulus check on Young at 2
