That makes the Christian Kirk deal look pretty cheap by comparison.

Well duh........ That makes sense since Christian Kirk isn't even 1/4 the receiver Davante Adams is. Of course his contract would be a bigger bargain. 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.
