That would make sense to me and would make the deal a lot more palatable. Also leaves you with more cap space this year and probably allows aiming higher at DE/free agents.
Take the money from Gallup and Green and plop it on one DE, and I think we like the result.
Second question:
You're picking 8th and Karlaftis and Ojabo are both available. Who do you take?

I didn't really consider Ridley. 1) I'm concerned about long-term availability given last year's sabbatical. 2) Deion Jones is an elite coverage player at LB that can line up against anyone and instantly transforms a defense.
The only real concern would be Atlanta being willing to let Jones go, especially with Oluokun being a free agent they can't afford.
In part 2, I'd be most inclined to go Ojabo. I guess it depends on what else I had for DEs. That said, I'm not all that concerned with run defending DEs as much as I am guys that can get to the QB in today's NFL.
