The real question for me is, is he worth a 1st?
Should he be a conditional 2nd in 2024 and something this year, maybe a 3rd?
I'm a bit scared of throwing the farm at him.

Yeah, my worry is that he sure seems to have found his level. And it's not a superstar.
It's just a really nice player. A guy I'd love to have and would probably even sign to a FA contract at really nice figure.
But I'm not doing that AND giving up a shitload of draft capital for him. I think we know what he is at this point. He's a very good player but nothing that is going to dominate games.
It's funny, but it seems CP is the only place where we have a reverse endowment effect. Look through the Chris Jones thread when folks were worried about not getting him extended. There were people saying they'd take a
2nd for him. I think I was willing to move him for both of the Colts 2nd rounders, IIRC.
Chris Jones is a much much MUCH better player than Allen or Burns or pretty much anyone other than Donald, Garrett and possibly Parsons.
And we have wanting to give up more for Allen or Burns than many were willing to accept for Jones.
It's odd - it's the inverse of most anything I've ever seen when it comes to trade talks.
