AJ Green for Jalen Ramsey?

I love AJ Green and I believe the Bengals will want him to be a Bengal for life and go in to the Hall of Fame a Bengal.

However, Ramsey is a rare talent with a ton of attitude to go with it.  Some people have been saying that is what (well, one of the many things) is lacking on defense.  He is due a new contract, but the Bengals could afford it with releasing Dre (or maybe getting a pick for him in a trade, but I wouldn't expect much) and not paying Green.

Would the team not be better with Ramsey over Green?  

Now, you would be trading a first-class individual for someone who acts like a punk.  I thought of this idea on another thread and decided to post it as a singular idea because I am curious what the board would think.

Personally, I would consider the deal.  Nice guys finish last and we have done enough of that.  Ramsey replacing Dre makes a huge impact immediately on the defense.  Maybe we should just offer the first round pick the Jags supposedly want?  It will likely be a fairly high pick.  That way you replace Dre with Ramsey and keep Green but lose your first rounder.  

Would Ramsey want to play here?  It isn't like the Bengals are lighting up the league, either.  

Thoughts?

Not for Green, but I would do Dre and a first rounder in a heartbeat.  With the way the Bengals draft there are no guarantees in any round so Ramsey would essentially be your first round pick.  Heck, I think he is only about 24 years old where Dre is approaching 30 so it would really be a nice trade.

You could then go OL or LB in round 2.  And maybe, just maybe, the dingbats can pick up a quality free agent for once - instead of picking up past-their-prime big names from the scrap heap.

The only negative would be he and AJ would have to mend fences.  There's some bad blood there.
