Benning is hurt right now but at full health I'd say he's around a 3rd/2nd. a lot of the value is in the cap hit and just the stability of his defensive play

Jacob Bernard-Docker has been playing a lot of minutes with Chabot out. And not that badly, just a little miscast as top-pair. He's a better fit with Sanderson than Chychrun though, Chychrun needs Zub more than Sanderson does.

JBD was a low 1st pick a bunch of years ago, he's finally paying off. I don't know what the price of that is. I also don't know what they do when Chabot comes off LTIR, because I don't think JBD gets through waivers again after playing this well. So yea, a trade might be there.
