I think you are reading that incorrectly. The value was a 2nd rounder plus roughly a 5th rounder (net between giving up a 4th and getting a 6th in return).
2nd and a 4th, for Julio and a 6th.So julio jones is not a patriot now because bill didn’t want to give up a second rounder?
ESPN's Adam Schefter said the two sides were discussing compensation. The deal will reportedly include the Falcons receiving a second and fourth-round pick from the Titans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.The Falcons are expected to trade Julio Jones to the Titans barring any setbacks in the next 24-48 hours, per sources. The 2 sides still are finalizing compensation but, as one source said, “I feel very good about this happening” If there are no snags, the trade official Monday.

The Falcons will send back a sixth-round pick in 2023.Full terms:
The #Falcons get a 2022 2nd round pick and Atlanta gets the titans 4 in 2023 and they give back their 6 in 2023.
The Titans get Julio Jones.

And the compensation for Julio was nowhere near being too much. It's an embarrassment for every team that could have beaten the deal and didn't.First it was Fitz, then OBJ, now Julio. The Pats and trading for a big name WR just hasn’t happened as of late.
And let's see what they get out of him for a year.According to sources Julio was looking for an extension, why don't we wait to see how much more money they give him before we proclaim all it took was a draft pick?
Yeah maybe the Pats just didn’t feel comfortable taking on his salary I’m not sure, disappointed though.And the compensation for Julio was nowhere near being too much. It's an embarrassment for every team that could have beaten the deal and didn't.
Yet in this very thread we have people whining years later about spending a 2nd rounder on a vet WR who did get injured shortly after being acquired...Even if Jones blows his ACL out in week 1 and never plays a snap, it's worth a 2nd rounder.
If they could somehow fit Ertz under the cap?..
....they’d still lose due to their defense.
Because football is a one man team with only a WR out there playing. My goodness was a postIf Mac Jones or Stidham becomes a legitimate passer none of this will matter.
Julio currently has zero rings and he's the best WR of his generation.
