How the Lions land Chase Young:
1) Lose the rest of their games. This should be obvious, but it's very important. There are a LOT of bad teams this year, and that tie with Arizona means the team can't afford any more wins. I actually thought this was impossible before Sunday, but here we are. Note that losing out guarantees Denver reaches 4 wins.
2) New York beats both Miami and Washington on it's schedule. The Giants have their QB of the future and the makings of an offense. There is just no way they pass on Young, so they NEED to get to 4 wins. Luckily, they still have two of the worst teams in the league on their schedule.
3) Atlanta wins one of it's remaining games (home vs Panthers, home vs Jaguars, and @Buccaneers are the best candidates). Atlanta is still trying, and still have a good QB. That should be enough to reach 4 wins.
4) The Redskins go full on Redskins in the offseason. Look, this is a terrible team, and they aren't likely to win another game this season, much less two. BUT, they are also arguably the worst run team in all of American sports. This may be the most luck-based of the scenarios, but not actually that hard to fathom. Haskins has been a train wreck, and there are likely to be 3 higher rated QBs this year. Even if they don't want to move on from their current QB, there will be several teams willing to trade up for one.
Draft Order:
1) Bengals - Taking a QB, no question
2) Dolphins - Taking a QB, no question
3) Redskins - They'll need to fall in love with Herbert, but remember Herbert was arguably the top QB prospect last year, and has had a much better year as a senior. If Arizona could flip Josh Rosen (10th overall) before his second year, the Redskins can do the same with Haskins.
4) Lions - **Chase Young**
