I'll be honest, I want to trade down. Now that's predicated on a team like Miami paying the price as some of the previous posts have stated, but that's whats best IMO. Yes everyone loves Young, but everyone always loves the top 2-3 guys in the draft. The Redskins aren't one player away, we need an overall better roster. Everyone thought Clowney or Suh were going to be the next great thing on the Dline and they are good. But they don't carry a team. And what if Young is a bust? What if he ends up being a Diva and causing problems? What if he blows out his MCL in training camp? We put all our eggs in one guy this draft. We have no 2nd round pick. Go get solid picks, get multiple pieces, and overall that will be better for this team.
Here is my take. We have a solid track record of not letting our studs on defense free lance and attack the QB. They usually end up playing in a read first scheme. It was evidenced most recently with Sweat killing it all camp and then immediately invisible in the regular season. That is until the season was over/off the rails, Callahan sheepishly admitting we dropped him coverage too much, and then he made some plays.
We may need a QB. I don't give a rats ass how much Turner or RR say they love Haskins, he is not their guy. We will be subbing out Chase so he won't be a full time player, like a QB or OL would be. I wonder if Chase isn't just ahem physically developed sooner than those around him, and will come crashing back to earth in the bigs playing vs men.
Here is the kicker. Our offense may suck and the defense forced once again to play read/bend don't break, milk the clock and keep down scoring. That will take away from Chase's strengths. Same shit happened to Preston Smith who dominated as soon as he left here.
Our offense needs help. Maybe we can get Olsen in here, but our QB play is likely to suck. Our RBs are walking wounded. We may have a hole at LT LG and RG if we don't tag BS. We really only have 1 WR. And, a first used on a DL again, and no second rounder... so this draft will not help our offense any time soon.
Maybe Chase can play TE.
