There are those who think Ohio State EDGE Chase Young is the best overall talent in the 2020 NFL Draft, perhaps better than Joe Burrow, much like how similar thoughts surrounded now-49ers EDGE Nick Bosa after he was picked by San Francisco once the Arizona Cardinals went with quarterback Kyler Murray No. 1 overall.

It looks to be an eerily similar situation for the Washington Redskins, who also need something of an identity change in 2020.

The Redskins have their quarterback, Dwayne Haskins, and it would be wise to find both weapons and protection for him in this year’s NFL Draft.

That said, passing on a player like Young would be about as foolish as could be.

Especially when there’s an argument Young could potentially have a higher ceiling than Bosa, who rocketed to the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Year a season ago.
