A third-rounder for losing guard T.J. Lang, who signed with the Detroit Lions
A fifth-rounder for center JC Tretter, who signed with the Cleveland Browns
A sixth-rounder for tight end Jared Cook, who signed with the Oakland Raiders
A sixth-rounder for running back Eddie Lacy, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks
Who would have thought a few years ago that losing J.C. Tretter would get you a high comp pick than losing Eddie Lacy?
I'll take Jahri Evans, a third round pick, and the difference in cap room for T.J. Lang any day of the week.
That's really how you've got to look at it, isn't it? It's not about this one guy, it's about what production you can get from what position at what cost, and how difficult it is to find a replacement for that production.
