Official NFL Draft Day 1 Thread

Don't like the pick. Think there was better value elsewhere and if they wanted a better backup than Tim Boyle they could find one outside Round 1. Rodgers has 4 years left and is basically untradable because of the cap hit.

BTW, did anyone see Mike Vrabel? What was going on at his house?

[GB-Brandon]

Boy, people are over exaggerating

Actually your getting ready to cheer on a LOSER!

We all know Rodgers has regressed over the last few years. What will he be like at 38? We can realistically cut him after 2021. We'd save $5M by cutting him after that year. Love would be starting his third year and we get the fifth year option. If Rodgers regresses or gets injured or Love really impresses, he could be the starting QB by 2022.

Over the cap says we'd save $5M by cutting him after 2021, so we can get out from under his contract at that time.

You guys aren’t getting it. Rodgers isn’t gonna respond well to this. He holds all the cards with his guaranteed contract. It’s already reported he is beyond pissed. This was not the time for this move and Love was not the right guy to do this with when the time was right.

This is gonna be a disaster. It’s gonna get real ugly.

I have to confess that there were at least 3-4 other positions that I would have been happy to see upgraded. Worried about OT and obviously WR and LB. but I am sure they believe Burks can take over for Martinez.... (lol).

[HarveyWallbangers]

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.

If Love is good and/or Rodgers further regresses or gets injured, Love will be starting by 2022.

[GB-Brandon]

We basically gave it all away for Desean Kizer.

If he’s really this big of a pussy, then maybe it’s time to move on sooner than later. Yes it likely will get ugly at some point. QBs typically don’t go out on a high note.

Yep. I think it's pretty telling that unless Love is a total bust, next year is ARod's last with the Packers.

Y'all citing that fake tweet know that was fake, right?

Rodgers has two years left assuming he can stay healthy. If we didn't draft his replacement this year, we would have next year.

Harvey. Always the most sane voice.

No way! Nobody ever fakes stuff like that!

He didn’t really have a chance with the scrubs they gave him. The only way I can see this making any sense is they know there won’t be a season in 2020 and Rodgers will be another year older with some rust built up. Still don’t like the pick. I watched Love a lot this past year and he wasn’t “Lovely” at all. He isn’t the guy so to me it’s a double waste and causes more damage then any good.
