2020 NFL Draft: Potential trade-up targets for Washington Redskins

In this scenario, the Washington Redskins would have selected Chase Young second overall leaving a huge need for help in the secondary. The top players including Isaiah Simmons, Xavier Mckinney, Grant Delpit and Antoine Winfield Jr. all of the board, the Redskins turn their attention to another versatile safety prospect.

Jeremy Chinn took close to 200 snaps at three positions for the Southern Illinois Salukis in 2019 including free safety, in the box as a safety/linebacker, and as a slot corner. His versatility is truly only matched by one safety in the 2020 NFL Draft, Isaiah Simmons, who is projected as a top 10 and potentially even a top-three prospect.

He does have some red flags including his competition which only including two smaller BCS programs in 2019, UMass and Arkansas State. As for his on-field abilities, Chinn has shown the ability to read plays and put himself in a position to cause turnovers on a regular basis. He is a heady prospect that will thrive in the roles of nickel linebacker, free safety or slot corner when playing in a zone scheme.

There have been mixed ideas on where Chinn will go with a consensus that it will be somewhere between the middle and end of round two. That gives the Redskins two obvious trade targets, the Chicago Bears at pick number 50 and the Tennessee Titans at pick 61. To acquire pick 50, they would have to trade away picks 66, 108 and a 2021 third or fourth-rounder. If they thought they only needed to move up to pick 61, they could perhaps only trade away picks 66 and 142.
