A previous ESPN report indicated Jacksonville was seeking "at least one" first-rounder in exchange for Ramsey, the team's fifth overall pick back in 2016. Since then, per Russini, one NFC team has offered a 2020 first and 2021 fifth-rounder for the star defensive back, while one AFC team has offered a 2020 first along with a player.

That would be what, 4 consecutive years w/o a 1st round pick?
It's really not the first round pick as much as losing cheap controllable talent. Teams like the Colts and Pats would trade out of the first round with Manning and Brady, but they'd often get multiple picks out of it to find guys to fill out the roster beyond the superstars.
That's really the only concern. Eventually you risk surrounding Mahomes with a lesser team because you haven't filled out the roster with controllable talent. [Reply]

...or you keep the picks, they don't pan out, and you're still in the same situation.
Again...established elite talent over draft picks 10 out of 10 times. [Reply]

Completely disagree. Id say having a QB like Mahomes is the very reason you dont overpay for a player like Ramesay. If Chiefs can get him for a good deal then by all means do it but otherwise no. Not worth the risk we can win wout him. [Reply]
When you have a chance to get arguably the best cb in the league when you're trying to make a super bowl run you do it. You pay him his money. Tag Jones next year it will work out. Ramsey is 24 years old he will cost 17per it's going to happen. Beach knows this [Reply]
