So you'd be expecting a top 5 pick for a half back who pinch hits on ball a few times a quarter?
Don't get me wrong, Holmes has some amazing traits as a player but sometimes those shifts in roles don't work out. Andy McGrath playing tonight excelled having stints on ball after playing primarily half back early days and now he's back to playing as a very good half backer after they realized he just wasn't suited to being a full time mid.
Holmes is what he is for the time being and would be valued as such, Adam Cerra was a much more proven midfield prospect with similar output at the same age and was traded for Pick 6.
Pick 10 is about right.
All I'm saying is that it's not realistically achievable to salvage anything like his actual value in any trade for him.
We'd be getting robbed, it would be unfair, but sometimes unfair things happen.
