Sounds like the same story every year. "How can we manage to keep all three (e.g. Parnell AND Murray AND D. Harris... or Church AND Leary AND T. McClain... or D. Lawrence AND Irving AND Hitchens)? I mean, I know they're not superstars and they're replaceable, but how can we expect to lose ALL three and not regress?"

We usually end up losing all three and regressing or resigning guys (e.g. T. Crawford) and never hear the end of it from the fans. Look at Hitchens for example. If we resign him, he'll become the next T. Crawford - a solid but not sensational player that wasn't worth the money he demanded. If we don't resign him, he'll become the next Church - a solid but not sensational player that was wasn't truly appreciated until he was gone.

The problem here is the fact we don't have anyone of quality behind either of those guys. Law and Irving is our pass rush. Beside's Lee and Hitchens we have nothing at LB. If JJ don't spend bucks this D will drop to at least 3 levels bad. Also don't forget Martin is looking for a contract this year. Yup!

I'm just curious how you quantify his value? How good is he? Do you think he could be replaced with a mid round pick? I think so but that's just me.

I like the player. I would like to keep him. I just do not want to over pay to keep him.

Nope. He's a solid hit for a mid round pick himself. And he's better now than he was when we took him. Compare him to Jaylon. Or to Damien Wilson. He's significantly better than both those guys.

Any mid round pick we spend would have to first hit, and then develop into a starting caliber player.

Essentially this thread

"Let's draft players, develop them, but if they are never better than "good" cut them loose and cry about the scrub we replace them with"

You people never learn.
