Oh that's right - Veach got tunnel vision and offered WAY more than Clark was worth. So you're probably right - Jones may get roughly what we gave for Clark. The difference is that Jones would actually be worth it.
So I suspect all we'll get is a 2nd. In 2021.

It's hard to tell how much of this is serious and how much is sarcasm. Clark played a position that is considered "more premium" than Jones, and Clark has been pretty healthy his whole career where as Jones had knee issues and now a groin strain. If he continues to be banged up this season it has to impact his value, plus the whole "takes plays off" thing that got him drafted in the 2nd in the first place. I think given all this a 1st and a 2nd the same year probably isn't likely, unless there is a bidding war?
I know you hated the Clark deal from day 1, I didn't hate it but just thought it was bad business. I can't remember where you stand on PFF but their podcast after the trade mentioned giving up that much for Clark can never be better than just signing a free agent like Trey Flowers or Zadarius Smith and keeping the picks. The irony being the two guys they named currently out playing Clark as well as having cheaper contracts.
If the Chiefs had signed Z Smith then drafted a guy like Greedy in the first, these mocks and drafts would be looking about 10 times better.
