10 players Eagles should fear most joining NFC East in 2020 NFL Draft
By Dan Parzych
Cards on the table, it almost seems like a guarantee that Washington will have to settle for Young at No. 2 if Cincinnati ends up taking Burrow as expected, which obviously is far from a bad thing.
Dating back to the actual college football season, Young has been considered the top defensive prospect in this year’s class, and as crazy as it sounds to predict, the Buckeyes star could even top his former teammate in Nick Bosa’s impact as a rookie in 2020.
Watching Young record 27 sacks in 25 games over the last two seasons is just one of many reasons the Redskins should be obsessed over a pick like this since the star defender would put in Washington in much better position to compete for the division title.
As discussed with the Giants, Washington could certainly benefit from adding another effective pass rusher in Young, and the Redskins should actually be extra thankful the Bengals appear to be so high on Burrow.
Otherwise, there is no way Washington would be in such great position to bring Young on board for the 2020 season, as this could even be one of those big selections that changes the Redskins as a franchise in one of the best ways possible.
Whether the Eagles want to hear it or not, there’s a good chance of Young being a problem within the NFC East for years to come as long as there are no major surprises with the top two overall picks on Thursday.
