But I submit a talented but unhappy player is less of a headache than having a team of less talented players.

Ramsey's contract is about to be a massive headache for the Rams, assuming they want to re-sign him after this season.  With Ramsey, I see 3 things at play:

A player becoming larger than the team with his constant "look at me" distractions.
A player with a looming franchise-busting contract demand.
A player who crossed a line that you just can't come back from (faking injury)

Sure, he's very, very good at his job, but then, so is Antonio Brown.  The trade was an absolute windfall for the Jags.  To your other point, we'll know in 2 years if we completely blew the number 20 pick.  While I know you're disappointed, lets see how the rest of the draft plays out.  They haven't picked anyone I had targeted yet either, but the run on cornerbacks sure put the #9 pick in perspective.  If we think Henderson's a cut above the guys that followed him, then he's worth #9.
