The Packers are getting hammered for picking Love. Rodgers said he wants to play until he's 40.
26. Packers, QB Jordan Love, Utah StateGrade: D. Terrible move by the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers told me last summer he wants to play until he's 40. They needed a receiver. They needed defensive help. Sitting behind Rodgers will do Love well, but not going to do the Packers well. You're on the cusp of getting to a Super Bowl, get Rodgers some help.
The media doesn't share my belief that Rodgers is on a steep decline. So naturally many media members won't like the pick. It's an "easy" one to call out as bad.
What's interesting is that lot of people said "The Vikings made the playoffs! Look at Kirk's stats! You don't take a QB now!" Well GB got further than us, and they took one. Love could be the next Kizer, Hundley, etc or even worse. I now hope that he is. But I respect GB for looking. They haven't won the Super Bowl lately but I don't think the occasional QB pick or trade have cost them one either.
I'm off the ledge a bit this morning because like I said, Rick did make 2 good picks himself (IMO). I am happy and excited for tonight. But that Love pick will loom over the rest of this draft, for me.
Green Bay is constantly "looking" for QBs in early rounds. And what has it gotten them? Rodgers is different because some projected him to be the overall #1. But, yes, they still took a QB when they didn't need one. And after 30 years of HOF quarterback play, they have 2 trophies to show for it. Doesn't seem like a great plan to me.
Maybe this sets up for aGB trade of Rogers to play somewhere for a year, then he comes to the Vikings so he can stick it to GB! Or have we seen this movie before and it didn't have a good ending?

They have been far more relevant than the Vikings in that time period though. And have at least won a few super bowls.
If it makes you feel better, pattersaur...
My phone blew up last night... My two Packer buddies HATE the pick.
One said "oh my fucking God".... I asked if it was a good OMFG or bad OMFG... he responded "BAD". Then another said "We traded up for this dipshit???? Didn't he lead the FBS in interceptions last year???"
Just a flavor of what some of their more knowledgeable fans are saying last night and this morning.

Yeah 2 trophies sounds pretty damn good to me...
It's just frustrating having the overall superior roster by far most seasons, but GB has the trophies. In my opinion that's largely because of their QB play.
But like I said above, I'm feeling better after sleeping it off. Seeing GB pick the guy I wanted MIN to pick hurt. I threw a 12 hour pity party. And now I'm mostly over it. Screw the Pack!
