Report: Jaguars want two first-round picks for Jalen Ramsey
The Jacksonville Jaguars are willing to entertain trade offers for star defensive back Jalen Ramsey, but the asking price is understandably high.
The Jaguars want two first-round draft picks in any potential trade for Ramsey, Albert Breer of The MMQB reports.
Per rival clubs, the asking price for Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey is two first-round picks.
That's a starting point. And added to what it'd cost to extend Ramsey, it's a lot. But it's not totally crazy, given what Seattle got for Frank Clark and Miami got for Laremy Tunsil.

As Breer notes, the Kansas City Chiefs sent two high picks — a first-round and second-round — to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for Frank Clark back in April. They then signed the pass-rusher to a five-year extension. More recently, the Miami Dolphins landed a massive package of draft picks that included two first-round picks and a second-round pick when they traded left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Houston Texans.
The market would seem to indicate that two first-round picks for an All-Pro cornerback is not an absurd asking price. Ramsey has one more year left on his rookie contract after this season that will pay him $13.7 million, and he has been extremely vocal in letting the Jaguars know he wants a new deal. That same demand would likely apply to any team that trades for him, so acquiring him would be expensive, to say the least.
