Let's just compare the contracts of Aaron Rodgers to Kirk Cousins while we're at it. Rodgers now averages $50 million per year and Cousins averages $35 million. Same difference in skill level and another big difference in contracts.

Aside from pointing out the obvious hyperbole when you say "Christian Kirk isn't even 1/4 the receiver Davante Adams is," let's compare.  

You can have 

a) Davante Adams ($28 million per year)

or

b) Christian Kirk ($18 million per)
Darious Williams ($10 million per)
a first round pick around #22, maybe Jameson Williams and
a second round pick- pick the one you like.  

I'll take b.

Where would we get pick #22?

If we would've traded for Adams, it would've been for the #1 overall pick and possibly a 4th. We're not getting Jameson Williams. That guy is not lasting to pick #33. I watched a video on his re-hab. He is already pushing a weighted sled. He's way ahead of schedule from his injury. I would've definitely given up the #1 overall pick and a later pick for Adams over Kirk and Williams. In a heartbeat.
