The Atlanta Falcons really want Chase Young.

According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, the franchise have been aggressive all week in calling several teams high up, which includes trying to get all the way to No. 2 overall for Ohio State DE Chase Young.

However, Glazer added that the Redskins are not entertaining any offers to move out of the No. 2 spot.

Falcons have history, moved all the way up for Julio Jones his year. They tried again. Chase Young too highly regarded for WAS to trade away pick

Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff has shown in the past that he is willing to move up to get a player that he likes, which is what he did in order to get WR Julio Jones back in 2011.
