Again though, when you're 13-3, your approach isn't that you're not a contending team. You might be wrong in some evaluations, but you're not sitting there thinking you're really 9-7. Rodgers could get back there if he ever had more than one receiver at a time and a terrible offensive line. The focus should always be on how to get to the Super Bowl. And QB's don't like when their replacement is brought in.

Of course they don't like it, and I'm not saying they should burn it down, but if they feel that Love can set them up for the next 15 years that's better than taking a receiver to chase a goal that isn't all that realistic

This is the worst Packers draft I've ever witnessed.

Burned a 4th round pick to jump up to get a QB no one was gonna take.

Took a QB when they needed to address far more important needs.

Took a RB when they had one of the more productive running games last year.

Then finished the day with a TE tweener who doesn't really fit at any position.

Gross.

So apparantly the Vikings drafted Cleveland because Trent Williams said he preferred to not go to the Vikings(although in another article, it made it seemed like he rejected a trade after the pick of Cleveland). I wonder why if it's true.

Then they should be trading Rodgers now so Love can get as many reps as possible. Packers brain trust don’t have the acumen nor resume to have one foot on both sides of the fence

It's funny because the Ravens had almost the same needs as the Packers coming into the draft and they walked out of the first 2 rounds with the players the Packers should have had.

Queen, Madubuike and Duvernay.

I already see huge alarm with the Guntekunst-LaFleur regime.

• They are obsessed with athletes who have high raw athletic score even if their production isn't there in college (e.g. Gary)
• They are clearly drafting for SCHEME FIT rather than talent.
• It looks like with the selection of Love and Dillon that they are saying "these are the prototypes we want in the offense we plan to run, so forget better players, forget more talent, just take these guys and plug them in."

We all know that the true approach to winning is to draft talented players and fit your scheme to the talents at your disposal (see the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers). It's not to pass on talented players for less talented guys who fit a mold of what you want your team to look like.

Jordan Love is more of the play-action, RPO type of QB.
Dillon is their 'Derrick Henry' style back
and this TE is some gadget tweener that they want to move around to fit their stupid concepts.

It's gonna end horribly.

People used to say that about Mike Ditka. The chump from CBS rated that pick by GB a C-.

Deguara caught 12 TD passes between his Jr and Sr seasons at Cincinnati. His Sr year, he averaged 13 yards a catch. Of course, the Bearcats only played and beat teams like UCLA, Miami of Ohio, Houston, Marshall and some rinky dink football school called Boston College in a bowl game to go 11-3. He will be a classic slot possession receiver like Mark Chmura. He is also athletic enough to play HB at 6'3" and 240 pounds, so expect him to come out of the backfield once in a while. The Packers have tried that in the past and have not been good at running those plays. Their player was too light. Deguara was team captain, so he has leadership ability, which does count for something in pro sports.

This has good and bad info on Deguara.

Aaron Jones will probably want more money than the Packers are willing to pay him when his contract ends. Next season may be his last as a Packer.


Brett Favre was a third string QB for Atlanta. The Packers traded a #1 pick for him. All of the "experts" said that it was greatly overpaying for him. We all know how that turned out for GB. Favre won a SuperBowl against the Pats and his coach, Mike Holmgren, lost the next one to Denver in his last game as GB's coach. I am old enough to see that history is not repeating, but there is an echo.

The Packers weren't going to get Tua or Borrow.

There's a reason the Ravens are always good because they sit back at the draft and benefit from the dumb things other teams do
