I draft Young for 3 reasons.

We'd have an immediate impact player a la Watt/Bosa that would make the rest of the line better immediately.
In a 4-3 we need a steady tackle and tackle/end combination inside as well as the rushers outside. We'd have 6 young DL that could play in almost any effective combination, including a 5 man line to remove the need for a blitzing LB and 6 man short yardage line. That means we can concentrate on getting LBs that are not pass rushers but pure run stuffers and coverage guys. And that group could play together consistently for 2-3 years before we have to worry about the group breaking up with FA.
We can't let Young go to the Giants and face him every year.
