Official 2021 NFL Draft Thread

[call_me_ishmael]

injured in college but a stud when he was on the field. I would be fine with him at 29

Man, not even a little bit for me. Injured 2 of his 3 years in college - 5'7" - no thanks in the first 3 rounds. After that, absol-stinking-lutely!

[call_me_ishmael]

He would have a spot in our offense for sure. I’m not sure if we can keep Adams but Gute seems pretty dead set on core players. Gutes profile says Adams will be extended.

Anyone with a brain says you keep one of the best receivers in the NFL - duh. There is a 0% chance they don't resign Adams. 0%.

I don't know about zero. The difference between Adams and Jones might be 15M per year. It's a harder choice. We have no clue what's happening to the cap. I would say 10% chance

If Adams does not re sign I think it's probably a safe call that they franchise him

I have a f'cking great idea............Extend Rodgers and reduce some cap space to make the signing easier... and give our franchise QB the security that he'll finish his career as a Packer )))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Or, let him walk, trade Rodgers for draft capital after this season and do a 1 year reset where Love learns and we gain a top 12 pick. Then after using the picks to restock with young talent use the money available to fill holes and try to win one while Love is still on his rookie deal.

Sounds like a recipe for going into the shitter and staying there for a long while.

In October 2008, Rosgers signed a 6 year 66M deal. His contract was ridiculous for those first 5 years of him starting. Love won't get Mahommes money after one year. We’ll.have a chance to win on his second deal for sure. And the back end of his rookie deal. If he's a player, we have a window.

Truth be told I would not argue with this plan. In my reality that's what made the Love pick so bad. Or maybe not bad....just a year to probably two too early.

If this is Gutebag's plan, get off the shitter and do it now.

Develop his bride the Love Machine and win one while he's on his rookie deal. I'd embrace that; it's not the route I would have went with but I can respect and embrace it

But I don't think that is Goote's plan. I'm not sure he has one..........OR....maybe what was his plan is in the toilet because he underestimated what Rodgers can still b

Doubtful Love will ever get Mahomey's money. There is always a window; sometimes it's wide open and sometimes it's nearly shut.

If Rodgers plays out his.deal till 40, Loves second contract will still.be a window for us is.what I'm saying.

I wouldn't bet that Love would even be in the league as long as Rodgers is still in the league. Even if Love is not a piece of shit - a shaky assumption, his highest possible upside would not be nearly enough to elevate the Rodgersless Packers above mediocrity - not even if they got some high draft picks in a trade for Rodgers. It's Rodgers for the next 5 or 7 or 10 years or a dive into the cellar for the Packers.

[run pMc]

Wow. That's a lot of certainty and hostility for a member of the team you root for, and one that hasn't played so much as a preseason snap yet.
Personally, I hope Rodgers stays healthy, and Love plays decent enough in preseason to net a good trade offer from another team.

Rodgers is 37. That "10 years" would put him at 47 years old, three years older than Steve DeBerg, who is the oldest person to start an NFL game at QB (he was 44 in 1998). 47 years old would put Rodgers in George Blanda range.

[texaspackerbacker]

Brady is breaking new ground, and I don't see Rodgers retiring at a younger age than Brady - and playing at a high level for pretty much all of that time.

What? I didn't show a lot of love for Love? I said "NOT a piece of shit" - saying that's a shaky assumption means I think it is maybe 70% chance he won't turn out to be a piece of shit. But no matter how good he turns out, I don't see one chance in a hundred that he will be Aaron Rodgers quality, and with what the Packers have and will have otherwise, they simply are not gonna be very good without Rodgers.

I've been doing a little research, and it turns out that Aaron Rodgers is already far older than we thought he was. Turns out he's not 37; he's actually 77.

Here's a picture of him taken in 19-and-65:
