After some further reflection this morning, I'm going to take the high road on Love since everyone else hates the pick. I liked the Rodgers pick back in the day. Pat Mahomes 2.0
I am all for long term decisions but when you have one of the best quarterbacks of the decade, you better give him the damn pieces to win today. We’re simply not doing that.
We couldve got Eno Benjamin in like the 5th round and there aint much of a difference between him and Dillon
Watching the Packers draft is super unsatisfying. It's like watching sausage being made. The process is terrible but the end product is usually enjoyable.
No way Covid fucks up football to the point of no 2020 season. Testing #'s are low,but even then half the people testing positive are asymptomatic and only 1 in 1000 people 18-45 has needed to be hospitalized. It simply isn't deadly enough to keep shutting down the US for much longer.
I'd be curious what the teams opinion of St Brown was last year before he got hurt. He didn't get a ton of run in the preseason before the injury. Was he clearly #2 and they gave other guys run to figure out the roster, or was he just in the mix and targets are random? Rodgers pretty much didn't play so it's not like the reps were geared towards working on the offense. It's just odd to see Gute ignore the WR position based on how he has approached the off-season previously. He's attacked weaknesses with a lot of resources. And his postseason press conference made clear he recognized the offense needs weapons. 2018 he signed Tramon and spent two early picks on DBs 2019 he gets the Smiths and follows it up with Gary If we can get a heavy dose of 2 rb sets with Jones involved in the passing game that would go a long way to making the offense work. Perhaps that is even the best way to get the passing game help, more touches for Jones in the passing game.
Kamal Martin ILB 6'3"240 lbs Minnesota 10 POS RK 157 OVR RK 57 GRADE Pre-Draft Analysis Martin has good height, a thick build and long arms. He does a good job of keeping blockers off his pads, and he excels at locating the ball while engaged with blockers. He's a solid wrap-up tackler. He's instinctive and shows a good feel for crossers in zone coverage. Martin will have some man-to-man limitations in the NFL. -- Steve Muench
I find it impressive that in need of WR's, in one of the deepest WR classes ever, we managed to not draft one in the first six rounds.
I was never real high on Higgins, but there are other names you could sub in and say the same thing. Aiyuk going so early was a kick in the nutts and probably fucked everything up. Pittman or Mims would have worked for me too. To be clear, I wouldn't have been mad at Higgins, I just preferred others had the board fell right
Pretty much every round there was a guy at WR that went a couple picks before us I was praying to fall
