Would you rather have:
1) Jenkins and Jones
2) $25M to $35M in cap space
Knowing that both of them could be replaced with high grade prospects?
I want to see if Jenkins can stay healthy this year. If he can, then I pay that guy. He is one of the best IOL in the league in my opinion (LOL, I realize that means nothing). He is our best offensive lineman. Wright has a lot of raw talent, but he is still needing improvement/development... and that is understandable because he is just entering his 2nd season.
LOL, so ask me that question again after this season ends and I'll have a shorter/better answer
Given that we have those four picks, I do not believe that Braxton Jones is a $20M(?) per year player for us.
Jenkins is a sad situation. He is a great example of a Home Grown Talent that we drafted and should keep as a Bear forever. The problem is his health.
It's hard for me to support tying up $35M in cap space on those two when Gordon is coming up in a couple of years or we could sign a skill player in FA.
