Is Dre K really worth much in trade?

None of last year's 4th round round picks got a higher grade from PFF than Kirkpatrick.

Kendall Sheffield 47.4
Isaiah Johnson 56.5
Iman Marshall 61.5


In fact of the four 2018 fourth round CBs, none of them got a higher grade in their second year than Kirkpatrick's underwhelming 61.7 either.

If DP beats Dre out for a starting spot then the 4th round guy will not always be on the field and neither would Dre. Dre making bank riding bench coming in rarely or a rookie coming in rarely on a rookie deal freeing up cash the fill other holes on the team. I would go with the rookie and if we get a good trade and another 3rd or 2nd round pick then the rookie might be a higher pick then the 4th round that is just as low as I would consider for a rookie CB.
