This team is way too devoid of talent (also one of the biggest gripes of at least two touting this) to just give away two first round picks in the next two drafts. When you’re likely to get someone almost his equal anyway.

Isn't the key to this is Krk Cousins? I recall reading something that Jefferson really likes playing with Cousins and if he is not re-signed may ask to be traded.
Can they afford to sign both?
Cousins is looking at $45m+ a year. JJ is going to be $30m+.
They have $35m cap space and lost 3 DE's, WR3, both starting guards and starting ILB.
Like Ja'Marr Chase? Puka Nakua? AJ Green, Julio Jones, OBJ, Justin Jefferson himself?
If MHJ is the generational talent his supposed to be then the difference between him and Jefferson will be minimal. Maybe not in year one but certainly over the contract.
Why would anyone want to pay $30m+ for the sure thing when they can get the next to sure thing for sub $10m?
Facts
Right? The same people on here touting this idea (which is complete nonsense and a waste of air) have been saying how we must draft one of the awesome wide receivers for weeks.

This is a joke, right?Sure why not.. it worked out so well with Hollywood!
We have plenty of cap space.Good idea if you have tons of cap space
How do you plan on building a solid roster? Strictly through the draft? You STILL have pick #4, and your WR need would be immediately solved. We could easily trade down and acquire more picks if you acquire JJ.and a solid roster.
Just dumb nope nope nope…. No need to give up that capitol with the WR talent in this draft…. Especially all the people chiming for it are the ones pretty much saying for the last two months MHJ is gonna be a star with little concern ….
Thats a fair point.The same people that want the Cardinals to draft MHJ because he is cheaper are the same who will not want to gift him a big money deal when the times comes to do so. (Just draft another guy for cAp sPaCe!)"

WHAT?If it is Jefferson and the #11 for #4 I am in. That is basically Jefferson for a 2nd round pick.
Adding in the #27 is just silly
WHAT?
Does the article in the OP think that that Vikings would trade #11 and JJ for #4? Deranged.Trade value chart difference between the #4 and #11 is the #35 pick aka a top 2nd rounder.

Going to say it again.Justin Jefferson would do for Kyler Murray what Deandre Hopkins - and then some. The question is, can MHJ match that?
Eh #27 isn't far away from a 2nd round pick.If it is Jefferson and the #11 for #4 I am in. That is basically Jefferson for a 2nd round pick.

Suggesting that Justin Jefferson would go for less than Hollywood is pretty wild.Eh #27 isn't far away from a 2nd round pick.
I think the offer of Jefferson for two 2nd round picks is pretty damn enticing.
The cap will probably be over $300 million when that kind of extension kicks in. It might be a bargain if he lives up to the hype!Thats a fair point.
In 3 years, Cards fans are going to be ok with giving MHJ 35 million a year if he earns it right?
