For Redskins, No. 66 pick is underrated in its importance

The Washington Redskins hold the No. 2 selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, and so naturally, that is the pick that carries the most publicity into Thursday night. The Chase Young vs. Field debate has raged on for a good couple months now, but a point of almost parallel contention is what the Redskins intend to do at No. 66 overall.

The No. 66 pick is the second pick in the third round, and depending on the talent available, it could function as a late second-round selection for the Redskins. There’s always talent from the previous round that trickles into the latter sections of the NFL Draft, and the Redskins, situated at the top of Round 3, have a chance to capitalize on that effect.
