What does this mean? For the Detroit Lions, it’s taking away probably the most ideal prospect they could select in this year’s draft. Their biggest problem last season was their inability to rush the passer.
What does Chase Young do well? Get after the quarterback.
Then again, it’s lying season in the NFL right now. There are lots of teams that need a quarterback and might want to trade up to that second pick.
