Redskins Reportedly Won't Trade No. 2 Pick in NFL Draft Amid Chase Young Rumors

The Washington Redskins don't want to trade out of the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft despite heavy interest from other teams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport:  

Washington is expected to take former Ohio State defensive end Chase Young with the second overall pick.

Young is widely regarded as this class' best overall prospect, including by Bleacher Report's Matt Miller, but reigning Heisman Trophy-winning LSU quarterback Joe Burrow is projected to go No. 1 overall to the quarterback-needy Cincinnati Bengals.

Washington used its first-round pick last year on former Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins. If the team goes with a Buckeye in back-to-back years, Young would be excited to play for his hometown squad:

Young became the Buckeyes' all-time leader for sacks in a single season with 16.5 in 2019:

By comparison, Matthew Ioannidis led Washington with 8.5 sacks last season.

Washington can make the presumed Young selection official shortly after the draft begins at 8 p.m. ET Thursday.
