I had thought GB might trade a 2nd for him, appease Rodgers, but a 1st is just too much.

I partly agree with you - 1st round pick is too much unless it's a team who is one #1 WR away from being a SB contender. Jones might be older and not the same as he was a few years ago, but he is still a WR that can make huge difference for an offense. Last year, Falcons and Ryan played well when Jones was on the field and struggled without him.

I had the same thought about GB, I think trading for Jones might help Rodgers feel a little better. Adams and Jones on the same field would make everything easier for Rodgers - all he needs to do is just to throw it up and let the guys catch it.
