Also Rankin looked solid before his injury

man the quality of players we acquire in the draft that make us happy is vastly different these days.

Name one person off of that vaunted 49er DL, other than Nick Bosa, that you would rather have than Jones. Those guys are all top 1st round draft picks.

I just think the piece that everyone always ignores in discussions like this is that the salary BUYS OTHER PLAYERS, so any discussion of what you would trade should also consider the difference in cap hit and what else we might be able to do with it. |

Sure you can get other players for that money difference. You can get players like Hitchens.

Nelson has two cheap years left and his 5th year option. So yeah, I'd take him and 3rd.
Its the type of player I'd love to try and land. |

If Nelson was a top 5 LT or RT, I could see it. That's value on par with a premium pass rusher.
A freaking guard? No way.

"CHIRS JONES IS A MUST SIGN! INTERIOR PASS RUSH IS THE MOST VALUABLE COMMODITY!" Would you trade him for the best interior OL in the league to stop interior pass rush on your Super Bowl MVP quarterback? "STOPPING THE INTERIOR PASS RUSH IS MEANINGLESS!" |

I mean, that’s a little hyperbolic. The value of an elite pass rusher - which I think we all agree Jones is, and a unique one at that - is a lot higher than the value of an elite interior OL. Nelson is a monster, but he’s still an interior guy. Guys like Jones are harder to find and offer more value over an “adequate” or “good” player when compared to a G.

There are only a handful of interior beasts who rush the passer. Having an OG who can shut that down will only matter in 3-4 games, if that, barring injury. Whereas if you HAVE one of those beasts, you have that value in 19 games, barring injury. So, there's the disconnect. I get it. But, if you gave me the option of sacking the other team's QB or never having Mahomes sacked, I'll keep Mahomes upright. If we had a "no sack" game in the playoffs, I'm betting HARD on Mahomes winning that shootout. |
