Guys with more value than Ford:
Jarvis Landry, WR, MIA
Derek Carr, QB, OAK
Davante Adams, WR, GNB
Justin Britt, T, SEA
Guys with roughly equal value to Ford
Demarcus Lawrence, DE, DAL
Joel Bitonio, G, CLE
Jordan Matthews, WR, PHI
Jeremy Hill, RB, CIN
Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, NWE
Allen Robinson, WR, JAX
Stephon Tuitt, DE, PIT
Guys with somewhat less value than Ford:
Xavier Su'a-Filo, G, HOU
Kyle Van Noy, LB, DET
Weston Richburg, OL, NYG
Trent Murphy, LB, WAS
Timmy Jernigan, DT, BAL
Jack Mewhort, T, IND
Carlos Hyde, RB, SFO
Guys with far less value than Ford:
Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, ATL
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, TAM
Marqise Lee, WR, JAX
Lamarcus Joyner, DB, STL
Cyrus Kouandjio, T, BUF
Paul Richardson, WR, SEA
Jace Amaro, TE, NYJ
Jeremiah Attaochu, LB, SDG
Ego Ferguson, DT, CHI
Troy Niklas, TE, ARI
Bishop Sankey, RB, TEN
Kony Ealy, DE, CAR
Stanley Jean-Baptiste, DB, NOR
Cody Latimer, WR, DEN
So the 50/50 shot is that we'll draft a player like Timmy Jernigan or Weston Richburg with our new 2nd round pick. There's a 12.5 percent chance that we'll come out a winner and get someone better than Ford (in my opinion).
