This proposal is saying "here, we will give you an inconsistent, malcontent safety who wants to be paid top tier money for your potential Hall of Fame caliber receiver. Oh, and we'll throw in a slot receiver." On top of this, the Vikings just drafted a safety in the first round this year. The Vikings become demonstrably worse via this trade, in my opinion. 

EDIT - I don’t mean this as a dog at Boyd. He is a fantastic slot receiver, but he isn’t able to provide the same value that Jefferson can.

Yeah I don't see that either the most I could see for Bates is 2nd RD pick or a 3rd + a role player.

Also I wouldn't do that trade I think the combo of Bates + Boyd is better than Jefferson.  Jefferson is of course the better player out of the three but Bates and  Boyd are pretty good players on their own.
