If they smell nice, use them for aroma/dry hopping. The alpha-acid won't matter if not used for bittering, therefore you won't be subject to the problem of a brew that has come out with an unintended 60 IBU's e.g. you thought they were cascade at 5% aa but infact they turned out to be chinook at 12% aa.
