I'd say we could have traded all 5 of those first for him, and the outcome would be better for us. Also, if we did trade our next 2 first round picks for him they are either late first rounders, or early first rounders and if they were early.. we probably missed on QB.

Not saying Jalen is not an ELITE Cb - He is.

I'm saying i wouldn't trade 2 1st rounders (2022 & 2023) for him - Henderson, Campbell and Griffin are suffice enough to not sacrifice our 2 first rounders when we already have our Franchise QB.

If we didn't trade him... there is no Trevor Lawrence. That's a fact. So... there's that too.

Yeah I don't disagree of our trading of him.. he didn't want to be here obviously. But i would absolutely trade 2 first rounders for that kind of talent. Maybe not at DB now because I feel we are in a good position there right now. But just in theory if I could get like.. idk someone of his age when we traded him, with like aaron donald type production I would. I'm a firm believer in proven talent vs unproven. Cause like I said, of our last 10 first round picks, Ramsey was the only one that was worth the selection. (prior to 2021 obviously)

I do completely disagree with his actions. But if I put myself in his, yannicks or anyone else on that 2017 teams shoes. I can understand not wanting to be in a place where Blake Bortles got a contract extension for the playoff run, while the actual players who won us games got no such pay increase.
