Just moments after it was officially confirmed that the Bengals wouldn’t trade the first pick, the Redskins are following suit. Washington has made their decision and they will not trade the second pick, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network (Twitter link).
Rapsheet says they’re keeping the pick “because they love the player who will be there for them,” which is almost certainly Ohio State pass-rusher Chase Young. The Redskins fielded offers for the pick, and the Falcons were reportedly one of the teams that seriously tried to move up to take Young. We heard yesterday that one team had made a “complete offer” for the selection, but ultimately Washington decided they couldn’t part with it.
Young dominated in the Big Ten last season, racking up 16.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss in only 12 games. He’s viewed by many as the top overall prospect in the draft, and should provide an instant boost to Washington’s defense. Assuming the pick is Young, the Redskins will have a ton of youthful talent on their defensive front with fellow youngsters Daron Payne, Montez Sweat, and Jonathan Allen also present.
No real surprise. Ron was clearly the most sought after HC during the offseason and it’s highly unlikely any team would have got him to come on board without providing certain assurances concerning the draft.
Fat chance that they would have, anyway.
If they haven’t sent him a Jersey then maybe somebody sends a last minute offer.
Riverboat Ron: “Well that’s the last time I’m going to count on Amazon to make a delivery on time”.
Win for skins. Anytime u get the best player when not picking 1st overall. It’s a win. Young is a monster.
They’ll manage to screw it up
Tuaaaaaaa
Busssst

I hear you pal, but he’s right, that was awful enough, that I had to take the time to comment
The singing was awful. Not the message. Did you even hear it? Imagine 5 people on FaceTime singing at once. It was an awful “performance.”
