[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 953568, member: 17953"] Exactly the point. If you keep Adams, a long list of guys, and you mentioned two, probably three, would have to be jettisoned. It wouldn't make sense. When you get a couple of decent draft picks for someone you couldn't afford to keep anyway, it means a lot. You get to keep several pieces of the team in place, and only have to deal with one major replacement. Was it a wise decision? Right now people will swing both ways on that issue. Then, during the year, we're going to hear the groaning about how the draft picks aren't doing anything to help, and the screaming for heads to roll at the end of the year. Next year, if those picks start playing great ball, all we'll hear out here is how Gutey got "lucky." Reality is, the Packers have turned the Adams trade into a head start on moving on from the Rodgers era, by putting a couple of extra guys in play, who will be available to them for up to 5 years, and it only cost them one overly expensive piece. Personally, I like the trade. If they did the same thing with Rodgers tomorrow, that wouldn't upset me either. But, only if the picks were in the top 3 in the first two rounds. I want to see one of the best players land on our roster, and have bargaining chips that allow them to snag a good QB down the road, if necessary. [/QUOTE]
