I thought the general consensus was that Jones was a positive in the secondary, with the one concern was his inability to stay healthy.

I don't like this trade.

Yes, we wound up getting a 6th round pick for a guy we got off waivers.

But his contribution is likely to far outweigh any 6th round pick we draft.

Furthermore, by my count, we now have 4 6th round picks next year:  Our own, the Schobert trade, the Minshew trade, and now Jones.  Either they have scouted ahead and feel that next year's draft class has a lot of depth, or they are already stockpiling picks to move up.
I think Jones was better than Herndon and Claybrooks, and Campbell, for that matter.  He was young enough and cheap enough to make keeping him worthwhile.

Maybe they are clearing up another roster spot for waiver wire pickups.

All told, I would have rather kept Jones.
