Official NFL Draft Day 1 Thread

[Freak Out]

I don't know fuck all about drafting players other than Sanders over Bulk every fucking day. I'm ok with this pick. I'm not even sure
Who was left of the board but we all know Arod is in his twilight years.

How many rounds tonight? We’re back to the Bengals?

The reactions here are kind of funny. Trade Rodgers? Not now. The plan here would seem to be exactly what the plan was when they drafted Rodgers. How did that work out? Don't know how it will turn out, but the plan has worked before.

Love isn’t Rodgers and never will be. You will see. He is a pick machine at Utah State. He has already had issues legally. This is not the guy. I can’t believe it. Rodgers was expected to go possibly no.1 and dropped to us. Love is not in that category. He has major holes in his game.

Rodgers should be beside himself. To not give him any weapons after everything he has done for this franchise is just ugly. And for Love? OMG!!!! Total slap in the face. Welcome to the “Green Bay Browns”

You will see.

This thread looks a lot like the 2005 draft thread.

yep, and 2005 the Packers ended up 4-12, so there is that

Another guy from The Draft Network:

Player Summary - Jordan Love has franchise quarterback qualities and should be regarded as a prospect with a Pro Bowl ceiling. Love's statistical regression in 2019 isn't indicative of a regression in skills or decision making — was a victim of poor supporting cast in many instances. Love will need patience and must go to a team with coaching staff able to nurture, develop and cater passing schemes to where he thrives. He isn't plug and play but he's a potential game changing QB.

You should have seen what people were saying about Tedford QBs in 2005.

Rodgers didn't even know how to hold the damn ball.

Well, if it wasn’t obvious, my point was the Overwhelming negative reaction to drafting a QB when the Packers had all sorts of need positions.

[GB-Brandon]

Back when a guy who was once projected as the top player in the draft free fell because very few teams had a need for a QB and Rodgers Fell into our Lap

SO MANY differences

Yes, this is nothing like that. So many many differences. This is the end. It’s over.

Well, if Rodgers throws 29 INT's, they'll be 4-12 again.

[mraynrand]

Hang in there.

I'm not sure that is a really a reaction; it's the reality of the NFL. Young QB's need to play sooner. You can load a shitload of talent with a good QB making a few million a year as opposed to 30Mil/Year when you have to let talent walk out the door.

Russell Wilson/Patrick Mahommes...perfect examples of winning a Super Bowl on the first contract. In today's cap world sitting a QB for three to four years rarely happen, and when do you remember a team trading a 1st round pick and a 4th round pick to "move" up and let him sit on the bench for three to four years.

Based on Rodgers recent history and the history of 36 year old QBs, Packers will be very fortunate if they don’t need Love to play significant minutes this year.
