I have two questions. Why didn't we do this deal and did Aaron Rodgers sign off on this?

I don't understand you.

You blasted the team for overpaying a bunch of guys over the past few days in FA, but you would be okay with trading a 1st and 2nd round pick and then giving $30 million to one player?

Given all the holes on this team, why would you want this plan?

Are you saying give up the overall #1 pick? In the pick worth chart, wouldn't the Jags have to give up 3 picks including the first picks of 2nd and 3rd round to equal what the raiders gave up?

Sure Davante is great, but a lot of that is his chemistry with Rodgers. Despite that good defenses often take him away for big plays and series.

Because the guys we signed weren't elite. Adams is one of the top 2-3 WR's in the NFL. Receiver is our #1 need and I would gladly pay that much for a proven, elite NFL receiver to pair with Lawrence for years to come. As of now, we just overpaid for an average slot receiver. There is a huge difference. 

I would've definitely given up the #1 overall pick for Adams. I think most people would. That's a no-brainer. Adams is a proven elite NFL WR in his prime at our biggest position of need. Why wouldn't we give up that pick? Seriously! I would probably then draft DE/OLB Sam Williams with the #33 pick and we'd be in great shape.

I was thinking the same exact thing. That would be a very wise move.
