I would have to point out though, that Armstead had a breakout year last year after being underwhelming for a number of years which coincided with them drafting Nick Bosa and trading for Dee Ford. Armstead is very good, as is Clark, but I would still argue that Deebo Samuel or even Emanuel Sanders were more important to last year's 49ers team. My issue is not that Clark is not worth the contract he will sign, guys are worth whatever a GM says they are; my question is whether spending that much on one spot when the defense needs help in many other places is wise. Of course, my scenario of trading Clark would necessitate getting a haul back like Diggs or letting him walk and managing to replace him with an interior guy who's 85% as good as Clark. Those are tough marks to hit and signing him to an extension is easier, with a higher floor but a potentially lower ceiling.I guess my overriding thought is that the Packers defense and offense both need help and the Packers are going to need to make some choices to free up the money next year to resolve those holes (or get REALLY lucky in the draft). If they draft Mims in round 1 and a CB in round 2 I'll start to think they might be able to spend the money on Clark (I REALLY like Mims).</blockquote>
