Situated with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and with a quarterback whom they intend to move into the 2020 season with, the Washington Redskins are in a position of power. They don’t necessarily need to remain at No. 2 overall, and were the right offer to come along, they could trade back and acquire more draft assets. With them having only seven total picks, the demand for extra capital is high.
For much of the offseason, the trade back talk has been primarily speculative, as it’s been widely known that the Redskins like Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young, and with them being at the start of a rebuild, they can pick the top talent available without consequences.
