The talent drops when you remove one of the best players off your defense...losing average/replaceable players makes no discernible difference.
Paying too much for average players hurts your team...*see Hitchens*.
Highly drafting players that dont impact your team hurts them too..*see Speaks*
Hope this cleared that bit of confusion up...
Trading Jones will leave a void...take Oakland for example. They traded Mack but kept Carr. They ended up using their #4 overall pick to replace him (Ferrell)...then spent the Mack pick on a RB. They used their Cooper pick on a safety that played one game...and are likely to use their first 2020 pick on a WR to replace him.
That's a terrible return...they got a safety and a RB (so far) for Mack and Cooper. They had already spent draft picks #4 overall (Cooper) and #5 overall (Mack)...then have to spend another #4 overall to replace him (Mack). They are now going to use ANOTHER high #1 pick on a WR.
