The Commanders are not going to exercise DE Chase Young’s fifth-year option, per sources.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) April 26, 2023

As @NickiJhabvala reported, Washington won’t pick up Chase Young’s 5th year option. If you have been following all along, this shouldn’t be a surprise. Very little pointed to them picking it up. There was no hesitation last year with Sweat, for example.

— John Keim (@john_keim) April 26, 2023

Chase Young becomes the 10th player to be a top-five pick and have their fifth-year option declined. He joins: Clelin Ferrell, Solomon Thomas, Leonard Fournette, Corey Davis, Mitchell Trubisky, Dante Fowler, Greg Robinson, Sammy Watkins and Luke Joeckel.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) April 26, 2023

Interesting to think both Chase Young and Montez Sweat could be free agents next March. Also important to note Sweat and Young have the same agent.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 26, 2023

If I’m the 49ers I’m calling and doing whatever it takes to get Chase Young. You want 3 3rd rounders? https://t.co/VHZ54KTKu1

— Marco Martinez (@marco_mart1205) April 26, 2023

We also discuss the likelihood of a trade. Hint: don’t expect one. Young has far more value here than some lower round pick. https://t.co/TtsmA6hFB8

— John Keim (@john_keim) April 27, 2023

I’d absolutely be calling Washington about Chase Young.

Injuries have been an issue, so only 1482 career snaps but…

Elite in his full year as a starter (2020) and his pass-rush profile is much better than his nine career sacks would indicate pic.twitter.com/iSFz0COBpp

— Steve Palazzolo (@PFF_Steve) April 26, 2023

#Commanders coach Ron Rivera has a track record of taking care of homegrown players who perform and handle things right. With new ownership arriving soon and a critical season ahead, everyone’s hope is to have a motivated and healthy Chase Young playing at a high level in 2023.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 26, 2023

The Commanders made the right decision not to pick up Chase Young’s fifth-year option.

The team is trying to motivate him. Not a great sign for their confidence in Young entering 2023, but if he balls out they’ll gladly pay extra. They want to see it. He’s got to earn a raise.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) April 26, 2023

Chase Young is the poster child why when it comes to the NFL at least for me why I will never be in favor of tanking. Or cheering for my team to lose for a better draft pick. The draft is a crap shoot. Can never root for my team to lose.

— The Entertainah (@TheEntertainah) April 26, 2023

Man, gotta wonder what the medicals look like on Chase Young’s knees. Cannot be promising.

I think people sleeping on Sam Howell to Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson connection very heavy. One Howell best traits is the deep ball touch and accuracy combine that Han and Terry speed and separation skills and the young man can bomb away. Pretty OP if you think about it… pic.twitter.com/o4vXPbKl4Y

Since the 2015 draft class, here are the most valuable edge defenders in the NFL using PFF WAR.

Garrett, Bosas, TJ Watt, Maxx Crosby, Montez Sweat

Here is the other negative with drafting a RB high. If the RB doesnt bust, and clearly you hope he doesnt, you often walk yourself into a big extension 3 to 4 years later which is usually a disaster. At least with S, LB, TE, etc… teams will walk on the 2nd deal if too high

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) April 26, 2023

The conversation around positional value we have every April reminds me a lot of 4th downs.

It’s boring in the sense that we reached a consensus answer years ago and there’s not much left to learn, but it’ll keep coming up as long as the teams themselves make mistakes

— Computer Cowboy (@benbbaldwin) April 26, 2023

I think most people buy in on this especially for RBs, but teams still cant help themselves with certain prospects/extension opportunities. “It happens with everyone else but not this guy” logic.

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) April 26, 2023

Probably worth dividing by number of each position typically on the field–gonna go w/11 personnel and a 4-2-5 defense here:

LB: 7
G: 8.5
C: 9
CB: 9.3
S: 9.5
RB: 11
TE: 12
RT: 12
WR: 13
IDL: 14.5
EDGE: 15
LT: 19
QB: 22 https://t.co/6mmuQncWls

— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) April 27, 2023

This is just to help illustrate how a draft pick does not have to be great to justify the selection at certain positions while there is less margin for error at other ones.

Another corner I like: Emmanuel Forbes. That’s @Fsmoot21SeanT’s guy. He made plays because he was around the ball. Sometimes just bad QB play led to picks. Tipped passes. But….played smart. Read routes well. Made plays b/c of it. At 16? Dunno. Yeah he’s skinny, but he can play.

In the mid-90s, a personal trainer in Argentina went to a lecture on an obscure topic: muscle-to-bone ratio.

Thirty years later, MBR could revolutionize key parts of the NFL. Want to find the next great player? Try measuring his skeleton.https://t.co/WW8w7Hr0x3

The NFL Draft has evolved in many ways. The landline telephone on which players get the call has not.
