Redskins Reality Checks: The case for and against taking Chase Young

Chase Young is the popular mock draft pick for the Washington Redskins at No. 2 overall. Here are the cases for and against taking Young with that selection.

The Redskins have an enormously enviable opportunity this offseason if they are smart enough to seize it. Top-two picks are, frankly, difficult to come by. Just ask the Dolphins, who couldn’t manage to get one even though they traded away most of their good players last season.

But with the great privilege of selecting second in the draft comes the great responsibility not to screw it up. Ask Bears fans how they feel about taking Mitchell Trubisky at No. 2. Or how about Titans fans with Marcus Mariota? Or Rams fans with Greg Robinson?…
