58. . Edge Rusher. Washington Commanders. Chase Young. 2. player

The 6-foot-5, 264-pound junior edge rusher from Ohio State will be coming home to the DMV. With the numerous question marks as far as trading back goes, unless the Redskins get a three-first-round pick offer, “The Predator” is the guy for the Burgundy and Gold.

Young, in seemingly every draft expert’s eyes, is the greatest edge prospect that they’ve seen in years. Better than the Bosa brothers, Myles Garrett, and others, Chase Young, according to NFL.com, is going to be a perennial All-Pro.

With the career collegiate statistics to back it up — 30.5 sacks, 40.5 tackles for loss, and nine forced fumbles in just three seasons for the Buckeyes — Young’s NFL rise will be instant. For a team like the Redskins, who lack true game-changers on both sides of the football, Chase Young’s projected impact on the football field hasn’t been seen in D.C. since, dare I say, the days of Sean Taylor managing the back end.

The 2019 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Bronko Nagurski, Chuck Bednarik, and Ted Hendricks award winner will be the perfect fit in the now 4-3 defensive scheme coached by the duo of Ron Rivera and Jack Del Rio. With second-year pro Montez Sweat opposite of Young and soon-to-be Redskins all-time sack leader Ryan Kerrigan still in the mix, the Redskins defensive line, on paper, could be looked at as the best in the NFL.
