The trade value for every player in the NFL truly varies on a week-to-week basis. For most players, they can see their value rise and fall the way the sun does, but some break through that mold and are able to secure themselves at the top of the proverbial ladder.
ESPN recently reviewed the trade value of the top stars on every NFL team. For the Vikings, ESPN's Bill Barnwell looked at the value of a handful of players. He listed Justin Jefferson as being worth two first-round picks, but he also hinted at guard Donovan Jackson and wide receiver Jordan Addison having decent value.
Both players were worth first-round picks in his eyes, and he chose to focus the discussion of his thinking around Jackson, as it centered around the guard market.
"Jackson was likely the best first-round pick of the Kwesi Adofo-Mensah era in Minnesota, as he quickly settled in as a very solid guard up front. In a league where below-average starting young guards are getting in the ballpark of $15 million per season as free agents, Jackson could end up being a valuable interior player, especially if the Vikings spend more on quarterback in the years to come and have to cut back elsewhere."
Jackson played very well in his rookie season despite a wrist issue early on. He is likely to be a building block going forward, which also points to his growing value.
