2020 NFL Draft Round 1 Discussion

[Matt Breen]

Now we get to endure a million articles about Aaron Rodgers being upset that the packers don't want him, blah, blah, blah.

 

Man.

 

I have nothing against Jordon Love - just didn't want the capital spent here.

[Mr Southpaw]

Trade back to NE so they can pick Jordan Love

 

Maybe not Jor Dan Love Go Pack Go

[PeaveyFury]

Seems like he needs time, and we have a time to give. But wow.

[homer]

Well Desmond Howard likes it....kiss of death.

[adambr2]

Might as well just trade Rodgers if we're not going to try to build around him in his last few years. This team as constructed isn't a Super Bowl contender without significant improvements.

I mean, they WERE in the NFC Championship just last year....

I think I read this quote exactly in 2005.

[homer]

Well that is a career defining trade/pick for Gutey....one way or the other.

[nodakfan17]

I hate this pick. The Packers were one game away from the Super Bowl last year and Jordan Love doesn’t get them any closer in 2020 or 2021.

[Matt Breen]

We might love this pick in five years. But now - not so much. Especially with the talent on the board.

 

Oh well. I will say that it's harder and harder for a guy to last a full season in his league. We've gone cheap on backup QBs for a long time. Now we are set for a while.

[PeaveyFury]

Yep. It’s the move that gets you fired or hung on a wall of honor in 20 years.

 

Must have thought Tennessee was on him at 29?

[Mr Southpaw]

When Rodgers goes down with an injury everyone will be very happy

[homer]

Which team in front of them was going to take a QB?

[Matt Breen]

What did we give up to move up three spots?

Well, they did trade Favre. I don't think Rodgers is getting traded anytime soon, but 2 seasons from now, I think it's quite possible.

I don't think you draft backup QB's in the first round though, do you?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

New England has a ton of currency they could have traded to Seattle.

[Matt Breen]

Tennessee?

 

Otherwise, there were probably rumblings someone else was going to make the move.

Well, they did in 2005. Worked out ok.

[Yount19]

I wonder if Aaron told the Pack he might be playing 1 more year... ??

[PeaveyFury]

Holy crap, the Brooks in the first round stuff wasn’t so crazy....

[wildcat83]

I wonder if Aaron told the Pack he might be playing 1 more year... ??

 

He said he wants to play into 40’s

[Mr Southpaw]

What did we give up to move up three spots?

 

NE moving up

[Yount19]

so we gave up the 136 pick to move up...

That team had a pretty solid corps of offensive skill position players to build around, and didn't have a ton of holes to fill, and Favre was already flirting with the will he/won't he retirement. Rodgers says he plans to play 3-4 more years. This team has Adams and... not much. I'm not against Jordan Love. The positioning and timing of it seems off. Considering the other needs. Maybe Gute will knock every other pick out of the park. We'll see.
