Ron Rivera is not going to let Chase Young get past the Redskins

and end up in NY ... that just ain’t happening. Lets hope for a trade down and we get both an OT and some other defensive stud in the 1st round.

I’d suggest it’s not impossible. As in 99.9. But until they pick you never know if some team is going to be dumb like Chicago when they traded up for Trubisky. I’m fine w Simmons or the best T. It like this team is t desperate for talent at T or they back 7
I doubt the Giants will be interested, because he's not happy with

his contract. and because there is only 1 year left. But imagine Darius Slay guarding Darius Slayton in practice.
Remember, Washington gave up a bunch of picks for RG3

Which allowed the Rams to stock pile multiple picks, and draft some strong players, many of which helped to it's Super Bowl appearance. It's not a stretch to think they'd want to be in the Rams previous position.
Point being I don't think its totally ridiculous that Wash and Det

Would trade their picks away and we end up with Young. Unlikely yes, but possible.
in reading how much Det uses Man coverage  
Paulie Walnuts : 2/17/2020 6:50 pm : link
It very reasonable to think they go Corner

After a series of subsequent trades here are the players the Rams acquired in the RG3 trade:

Alec Ogletree
Michael Brockers
Stedman Bailey
Zac Stacy
Rokevius Watkins
Isaiah Pead
Greg Robinson

Of these guys, only Brockers was on the Rams 2018 Super Bowl team.He had one sack in 680 snaps that year.

Watkins' NFL career consisted of four games over two seasons. He was gone by 2013. Bailey and Stacy were out of football by 2015 and Pead was gone by 2016. Robinson was the second overall pick in 2014. He lasted three seasons with the Rams before being traded to the Lions for a 6th round pick. His career makes Ereck Flowers look like Anthony Munoz.

Draft picks are overvalued, especially by fans and media. Expectations for them are wildly unrealistic. The vast majority of draft choices will never rise above replacement level. They typically will remain on the roster for 2-3 years primarily as backups and special teamers, with the chance to start a few games when someone gets injured. They then move on to another team, and then another, until no one wants them anymore.

The players the Rams got for RG3 weren't bad picks. They were typical picks.

Covering in practice, not guarding. Guarding is used in basketball. This is football.
