Quote:I like Kendricks, actually. I just think that giving up a fifth-round pick for him is unnecessary. Remember how the Steelers scared Coughlin into giving up a fourth-round pick for Brendan Stai?

 

  On the other side of the coin,  the Ravens gave the Jaguars a 4th Round pick for WR Kevin Johnson after the Browns cut him and a multitude of teams claimed KJ. 

 

  My take is because the Jags are in great salary cap shape,  they should have viable options next March when the FA period begins.   While I can see both sides of the discussion in terms of whether it's worth giving up a 5th or later Round pick for M. Kendricks,   if in the Jags position I probably wouldn't give up more than a 7th Round pick.    It's not a reflection on the player,  who I think is a quality player.   It's a reflection of the value of draft picks and the Jags excellent cap situation.
