Chase Young or Three First Round Picks?

One could also argue that with Kerrigan and Sweat focused exclusively on rushing the passer, we might be better suited (overall) as a team to add an elite corner than to add Young (moving Kerrigan to the bench) and having a weak CB.

I think there are good arguments to be had on both sides, but my point is, our team, overall, might be better off with Okudah and 2 other first round picks than with adding Chase Young and moving Kerrigan to the bench.

That is the biggest nope from me that I can muster

So you think a starting lineup of
Young + Sweat + shitty CBs

is better than

Kerrigan + Sweat + Okudah + 2 additional first round picks

At this point, i would whole-heartedly disagree. I think our team is better off with a very good pass rush and elite secondary play than with an elite pass rush and absolutely shitty secondary play. Overall, we're starting a more competitive roster.

A) No guarantee we get Okudah in the draft in this scenario
and
B) I think an Elite level pass rush >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An Elite corner

Problem is you assume we can't solve the 'shitty CB' problem. We can. We have $60M in cap space. So we can fill holes in free agency. My point being you can't assume 'shitty CBs' will be part of the Week 1 roster under either scenario. A potential trade doesn't exist in a vacuum.

By the same token, we could fill pass rusher in free agency.

The idea that Young is automatically better that an Elite LB/CB/WR/OT + 2 more first round players is moronic.

So many Skins fans have zeroed in on drafting Young no matter what and this defies all logic and reason. Sure, Chase Young could be Nic Bosa. But with 3 first round picks, we could get the next Richard Sherman, Luke Kuechly, and Cam Jordan.

It all comes down to how Kyle Smith and Ron Rivera evaluate the talent in this draft and i guarantee you they have not zeroed in on Young as a "must draft at all costs" player at this point.

Kerrigan needs to be regulated to "paying customer" he looks done.

I mean done is done in my book
