Instead of trading a player everyone thinks we don't want like Fournette, Bortles, Jackson or Gipson, how about trading a player everyone thinks we do want in Telvin Smith. Now, I don't mean that I don't want him... I do... but we can get some legit picks for Telvin, and LBs are often the easiest to replace on defense. He's carrying a $10 mil base salary in each of the next three seasons. That's money the Jaguars can use, but that teams looking to trade for him would see as a bargain for a player with his talent.

What do you think we could get for Telvin, and how might you go about replacing him?


Or, should I just put down the bong and get back to bed.

I am starting to lean heavily into the idea that if Haskins is gone at 7, take Devin White, put him at MLB, let Jack move over, and Telvin becomes much more expendable. I agree with you, in that Telvin is a great player, and welcome him on the team, but if Jack is more talented, and we plan to extend him, we have to begin making difficult decisions like this.

I'd be happy with a day two pick for him, either a 2nd straight up, or a 3rd and a later pick. I may be underselling, I dunno, but I'm also factoring in the salary saved and how we use that to better the roster in my price.
