Chase Young or Three First Round Picks?

[KI Skins Fan]

I'm getting tired of so many people here saying "Well, Chase is good but he isn't this and he isn't all-world" because it is all irrelevant in terms of DL play because a DL, much like an OL, is more than the sum of it's parts. We all know that Chase is a rare talent who is almost certain to cause problems for any offense but let's look at the whole DL with Chase. Just use your knowledge of what the current D-Linemen bring to the table and try to imagine this:

1. We're going to a four man line that will play an attacking, gap shooting style.
2. Forget about DE's dropping into coverage. They will be disruptors, sharks.

On passing downs:
3. Chase will play next to Matty Ice who is a sack master in his own right.
4. Sweat will play next to Jon Allen who can get after it, as well.
5. Matty will play between Chase and Allen.
6. Jon will play between Sweat and Matty.

On running downs:
7. We can play Da'Ron and Settle at DT and Matty and Jon at DE.

Depth:
8. We've got Settle and Kerrigan to use however Jack Del Rio decides.
9. Jack can rotate his DL's so that they are all fresh all day long.
10. Jack can use any combination of these players he can think of, effectively.

I haven't even mentioned run and pass blitzes by LB's or DB's.

Yes, indeed! With Chase just being Chase and not even all-world Chase and a new top-notch DC we are going to have a bad-ass DL.
