I am all in with the 'future is now' concept. And in consideration of that, it's clear that Reynolds and Everett can help the team win now where a 2022 draft pick can't.
If the idea is to win the Super Bowl (as it should be every year) why give up guys who might help get you there? Especially when Reynolds and Everett are likely to get you a comp pick after the season, possibly replacing the draft capital you gave up for the edge?
Hypothetically, suppose the Rams gave up a 4th in 2022 for the edge and then got a 4th round comp pick for Reynolds when he left in FA. Isn't that better than trading Reynolds today? The Rams essentially would have Reynolds for another 13 games plus playoffs and all it would cost them for the edge is to drop from the 32nd pick in the 4th round to the 35th pick in the 4th round.
And sure, if the Rams offered a pick in trade for an edge and the other team said "Nope. We want Reynolds." then I would trade Reynolds. So I guess my actual answer to you poll is 'only if the other team won't take a pick or 2'
