The #1 rule of NFLN Club apparently is The Packers Can Do No Wrong.

They are the only ones.  Pukers getting blasted everywhere for their draft.

*thud*
Daniel Jeremiah tonight on Path To The Draft gave the Vikings credit for most improved team, and for Jefferson being the first round WR with the best fit for his team
*thud*

Also this from somebody named Lance Zierlein:

Just so we're clear, my "WTF Troy" response was directed at NFL network, NOT you.

Bob McGinn, who’s reported on the #Packers for 4 decades, suggests here their trade up for Jordan Love was a power move by Matt LaFleur, who has “simply had enough of Rodgers’ act” and the Love pick “would gain leverage with their imperial quarterback.”

If your first round pick was directed at being a "power move" then boy do you have a lot of issues...we all know how Rodgers is, and that bleacher report article was great. This pick will never not baffle me as I really didnt like this QB draft class so why not wait until next year? I really dont see Love playing at all the next two years, but maybe I am wrong.

Actually, I think the RB pick in the 2nd round was even crazier than Love in the 1st. Packers are pretty much where the Vikings are at RB. A really good starter and a damn good backup. Can you imagine if the Vikings, with all our needs, had taken a RB in the 2nd round? Most people who bitch about drafts don't know what they're talking about, but Packer fans have every right to be seething. So does Rodgers. It will be fun to watch it all blow up.

Man I wish I knew how to post memes / gifs / etc.  I would love to put up the one where Barney (from the Simpsons) is saying, "Just hook it right up to my veins!"   =)

I actually thought this when they made the pick. Next time Rogers wants a big payday, or complains too much they ship him off in a trade.

I just love to see Rogers’ pouting. 

Here you go

Love stats from college:

61% completion %
60 TD's
29 Int's 
2.4 yards a carry
Competition: Mountain West Conference

Review his TD highlights and then Interceptions.  

Very late on several quick outs that were returned for easy TD's
Only makes 1 read on pretty much every throw I saw both TD's and Int's
throws into double coverage (mostly because he only has 1 read)

I see a live arm and he throws effortlessly but he has a very long way to go in the NFL.

(disclaimer:  this is just my opinion I am not a coach, have never played QB, just another blogger)

Interesting bit from a McGinn article via The Athletic on Packers QB Jordan Love.

That was the part of him that worried me the most...  you play well in 2018 with a bunch of talent around you and then you get a new offensive coach, new offense, and lose some of your top weapons...  And you do THAT?  It was a big red flag for me. 

I would have expected some struggles, but he did not play well and his games were littered with turnovers and poor decisions.  I don't believe that is something you can coach out of a player.  When the bullets are flying, you do what you do...  some guys have it and others don't.

Compare with: Nate Stanley pick #244
58.2% completions
68 TD 
23 INT
Competition: Big 10/11/12/13/14

Although Stanley still had the same head coach+OC in 2019, he also lost his top 3 receivers from 2018.  While like Love his TD's crashed (from 26 to 16), unlike Love his INT's also went down (from 10 to 7).
