Why sprinting to the podium at No. 2 overall with Chase Young on the card might be a bad idea
On the surface, it looks like Chase Young is an easy choice at this spot. After all, Young is almost unanimously considered to be the best defensive player in the draft and may even be the best defensive prospect we've seen in several years, as he had the highest single-season pass-rushing grade we've ever measured.

And as I wrote last week, he was the victim of one of the worst receiving corps in the NFL last season. If the Patriots want to tempt him back to Foxborough to play another year or two — and given their alternative options, you have to think they desperately want to — they need to attack their lack of weapons in the passing game hard this offseason.

Simply put, some quarterbacks experienced immediate success, while others needed more time to develop.
