The Washington Redskins won’t trade the No. 2 pick in Thursday’s NFL Draft, according to a new report.

The NFL Network reported that Redskins coach Ron Rivera and his team have decided to make their selection instead of deal it to another team for a package of picks. The Redskins had previously received calls about a potential deal, but rebuffed offers.

On Wednesday, Rivera told The Washington Times that the Redskins would have a self-imposed deadline for other teams interested in making a trade, saying they wouldn’t make a move unless an agreement was reached before the start of the first round. 

Barring a major upset, the Redskins are expected to take Ohio State pass rusher Chase Young.
