First Round Pick 2020, Jordan Love

[Teamcheez1]

I'm not arguing for or against the pick although I do feel there were other areas of need that maybe should have been addressed with this pick. I'm sure the Packers were also looking at next year's draft class when evaluating whether to take Love.

I think we're fooling ourselves if we think AR's performance (or lack thereof) is strictly due to WR's. Be it injury, age, new offense, etc., my opinion is he didn't play that well last season. I never felt he would finish the new contract he signed. Maybe, the Love pick will light a fire under Rodgers, but I don't believe he has any issues with competitive drive and spirit. He has his moments as he is truly a great QB., but I have been left scratching my head at many of his performances and decision-making. I think Packer brass know he is a lot closer to the cliff edge than many of the fans and they decided to make the move now.

Kiper had Love going #19 to the Raiders.
McShay has Love going #6 to the Chargers. He liked Love more than Herbert.

One thing I heard today that really stuck out was that live is the first offensive skill player taken in the first by Green Bay since they drafted Rodgers

That’s still just shocking to me

It’s just insane how many first round picks we’ve wasted on defensive players on a side that never figured it out, and really refused to go after better weapons for a rod

Sure there were a few years in there where we had no need for wrs, but other then that, 15 years, no wrs, TEs or RBs

Reminds me of Ron wolf talking about how he wished he would have gotten Favre more weapons

We’ve never learned

2018 - Utah State has their best record ever at 11-2. They finish in the top 25 for the third time in program history. They finish with double digit wins for the third time in program history. This is Utah State, not Utah. Not a good program historically.

2019 - They lose their coaching staff (Texas Tech hired their HC after the 2018 season) and 9 out of their other 10 starters on offense. Of course, things were going to be really rough. It might be a good thing for Love. He had to deal with adversity and maybe got humbled. Utah State still finished at 7-6--which was only their 6th winning season in the last 23 years.

Wow! Yeah, I liked his composure. Not surprised he's a winner

JL’s biggest problem is “decision making”. Teams like BYU flustered him. Teams like Kent State flustered him at times. LSU obviously flustered him. He had LOT’S OF FILM being flustered and making “bad decisions”. He has a hard time making multiple reads and struggles and then just launches the ball in harms way. If you think Rodgers decisions are bad you haven’t seen nothing yet. I sure in the hell don’t want to endure a QB who throws 25-30 picks in a full NFL season. It’s gonna be a painful process if he is forced to play. This guy doesn’t have Brett Favre or P. Mahommes arm talent to get away or make up for all his struggles. One scout said he is 70 percent of P. Mahommes and a 105 percent of Jake Locker which is not good.

This guy is another project like Gary. He is a head case like Jamies Winston and forces stuff. Carson Palmer did the same thing too. It’s tough to work these things out cause everyone see’s things differently on the field. He is a natural thrower yes but isn’t very accurate at times which is another big problem in the NFL and tighter windows.

If we plugged him in right now with current offensive roster it would be a total disaster. Be prepared for a Bumpy Ride.

Love to me does not come across as highly intelligent. Against weaker competition when you have superior ability, you can largely get away with that...which explains his success at Utah State. That won't happen in the NFL. You need to be able to digest film and tendencies. I'm guessing this kid is clueless in that regard. However, the same could've been said for Favre coming out of college.

The one area that I have not seen a whole lot reported regarding Love is his work ethic. If that is strong, that would at least give me some hope. The pick is a roll of the dice. Gute is going to live or die in GB on this pick.

Rodgers gets us to 8 wins; a bit more talent gets us in the playoffs. Then it shows

"Even if Love drops all of the bad habits that littered his 2019 tape, this pick isn’t going to make the Packers, a team that should be in win-now mode, better any time soon."


Unless, of course Rodgers gets hurt. But we all are happy with Boyle, just like we were with Hundley and Kizer. And Rodgers cannot possibly get hurt ever, at all!

Why do you feel this way? For what it’s worth, Love had the 5th highest wonderlic. Stanley, Fromm, Burrow, Luton scored higher. Eason, Herbert, Hurts, Tua, Gordon, and others scored lower. Both of Love’s parents were police officers (25 year veterans) and were very involved in his life, so I’m guessing education was important to them.

I think Love is a smart dude; he's way more Favre than Rodgers as he thinks he can slip every throw in.

2 years from now this would have been a nice pick


ANYBODY ELSE see a nice landing spot in New England for Aaron Rodgers !!! CLASSIC ending to a career. Hoody Genius calls, makes a trade, and AROD wins 2 more Super Bowls ...............lol

Hoodie isn't giving up multiple round 1 picks

Oops, wrong thread

[Bretsky]

Hoodie isn't giving up multiple round 1 picks

Probably won't get that for a guy who has 1-2 years left to play somewhere else
