Are the Matthew Stafford trade rumors a smoke screen to land Chase Young?

Most analysts and draftniks agree that the Detroit Lions just missed out on the Chase Young sweepstakes. Despite ending their season losing nine-straight games, the Lions weren’t able to climb into the top two of the upcoming NFL draft, where the Ohio State pass rusher is expected to be chosen.

Instead, the Lions possess the third overall selection in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. With the quarterback-needy Cincinnati Bengals expected to have LSU passer and Heisman winner Joe Burrow squarely in their sights, Young presumably falls to the Washington Redskins at No.
