If you need to downplay Simmons like that, there's no point in having a discussion.
If we draft Young, one of Ionnaidis, Allen or Payne have to go to the bench, and Settle won't get off the bench. Sacking the QB was arguably the single best thing Washington did last season. They were 1 sack behind 7th place in the NFL and 8 sacks behind 1st place Pittsburg. Getting Young would still leave a ton of holes, and filling 1 or optimistically 2 holes a year through the draft with this roster just isn't good enough.
I think RK should be gone if we get Young. Give me an example how a guy like Simmons got drafted over the drafts premier pass rusher? The guy that comes to mind is the Safety from FSU that the Chargers drafted and he went in the teens. Simmons is a talent but you never pass on premier pass rushers.
Now if RR thinks Sweat can be that premier pass rusher then you might have something here. But why take that the risk?
