We are still looking for Quinn replacement......whether it's the draft, free agency or trade, it's safe to say he's NOT currently on the roster IMO and no, it's not Crawford or Randy Gregory. Unless they are waiting to make a trade or player on another team to be released, our 2020 starting RDE is in this thread, somewhere, but WHO???????

1. Chase Young, Ohio State (JR, 6'5", 264 pounds)
Checking all the boxes teams covet in a pass-rusher, Young's elite traits are matched by elite production. Combining an ideal blend of size, length and athleticism, Young has an explosive first step with outstanding bend and advanced hand usage. Commanding double (or even triple) teams, Young's impact isn't always felt in the box score, but he posted a school-record and FBS-high 16.5 sacks in 2019 after recording 10.5 as a sophomore. As talented as any pass-rushing prospect over the past several draft classes, Young has the potential to become a perennial All-Pro early in his career.
2. K’Lavon Chaisson, LSU (JR, 6'3", 254 pounds)
Chaisson tore his ACL in the 2018 season opener and is one of the younger prospects—turns 21 at the end of July—in this year's draft class. Displaying outstanding burst and bend around the edge, Chaisson flashes elite pass-rushing upside, but he has lacked consistent sack production. That said, he led the team in sacks (6.5) in 2019 and built momentum down the stretch with 4.5 sacks in his final four games. More projection than production at this early point in his development, Chaisson has the elite physical profile to develop into a high-end pass-rusher at the next level.
Honestly, I'm also keeping an eye on Jevoney Clowney on a prove-it deal...
