Chase Young or Three First Round Picks?

But I think I’d need a sweetener beyond the 5th, 18th, and 26th honestly. If they throw in a 2nd in 2021 then it’s probably at the point where I can’t refuse it.

If Miami won’t tell us who they want at 2, then I don’t continue listening. I’d want to be assured of Chase Young, Isaiah Simmons, or Andrew Thomas.

No matter what I make all suitors sweat it out and I don’t take a deal until I’m on the clock.

This is honestly the way we need to think about the impact Young could have for us. PFF has never graded a college pass rusher this high. He’s their highest graded yet. The value of that is just so enormous.

Khalil Mack goes to the Bears, massive improvement on defense year 1. Von Miller goes to Denver, wins a Super Bowl. Nick Bosa goes to SF, they make the Super Bowl.

The pass rusher isn’t solely responsible but we have cap space, we can solve other problems. It takes an epic haul to turn down Chase Young.

Those are great examples of what a top pass rusher can do for a team.

And while the game has changed over the years, there are examples all throughout the game’s history. Lawrence Taylor won two Super Bowls. Reggie White won one (and the Eagles got decidedly worse when he left for GB). Bruce Smith played in 4 straight SBs. Charles Haley with both Dallas and SF.

Heck when you look back at the Skins we had QBs change out, but Mann and Manley were constants.

You’re right. It’s been over 25 years since we had the Mann and Manley combination of elite rushing edges. The thought of Young and Sweat, under the leadership and tutorial instruction of Del Rio / RR makes me drool. We have not had an elite rushing combo in all these years. Plus, I think the pass rush of Allen and Payne would greatly improve with the attention going to the edges.

However, if the team could get Simmons (LB) AND Jeudy (WR) and a first for next year, that would be tempting!
