That's what...two top 20 picks since 2020 in the attempt to replace Yan?

Nahh.  No relation to Yann's departure what so ever.  Nope.  Absolutely none!

How much better and more balanced would this team be if it spent picks on another position and still had a guy who consistently put up 8-10 sacks a year?

If they were trying to replace Yawn they would find the worst DE against the run they could find, a liability.  I don't think that was there plan and they did the opposite

That's EXACTLY what they did!  They drafted the WORST they could find in Chaisson.  They got 2 sacks out of him in 2 seasons...nowhere CLOSE to Yan's productivity, even if you think Ngakoue is the absolute worst run defender in the league.  Then this year they spent the #1 overall pick on a guy who hasn't played edge rusher, and who had less than 10 career sacks on an absolutely loaded Georgia team.

But you're going to tell me getting rid of Yan had nothing to do with poor draft decisions and the team having the worst record in the league for two years running?!?

Seriously?!?
