It's easier to upgrade the JAGS than it is to replace Chris Jones.

Is it though?
Because upgrading the JAGS in a significant manner means a mid to high first round pick, or a LOT of money in free agency. We have neither.
I'm not necessarily saying we should move him; but I'm not sure we can significantly improve because of available draft capital and cap resources.
I love Jones, I think he's great. But does what it takes to keep him preclude us from getting the better players we need?
It's like with Hill. We had Hill and a bunch of JAGS. We're better with a better GROUP. Maybe it's the same thing with Jones and the DL. He should be a force multiplier, but he's really not.
