So as it stands, Ngakoue and Allen are going nowhere. We've got them at least through 2021. Even if I somehow can't get a new deal with either Campbell or Smoot, both are signed through 2020, so I'm not worrying about drafting a DE until at least 2021. I'm not taking a DE in 2020, no matter what the circumstances are. We tons have immediate depth at that position with 4 of the top edge rushers in the league. Drafting a DE would mean I would have to get rid of one of our existing DE's and I'm not gonna do that. If Young is sitting there, teams will want to move up. It would be a no-brainer to trade that pick for a king's ransom and use those picks to fill needs where we have no decent players, like O-Line, TE and NT. If we have 100 good DE's, but we still suck in other positions, we're never gonna get any better.

If Young is there you take him and trade Yann.  BPA.  Then we have money to go get AJ Geen and another top FA with a nasty pass rush

No way! I keep the proven guy over the unproven rookie. What if you trade away Ngakoue and Young busts in the NFL? You traded away a proven NFL edge rusher and now you have to start all over at the position. As far as A.J. Green, no way. He is on the downside of his career. His body is breaking down. He only played 10 games in 2016, 9 games in 2018 and he has yet to start a game this season, but he's gonna command a big salary. Pass. Gimme TE Austin Hooper, LB Blake Martinez and DT Jordan Phillips in free agency.
