They just got to the NFC Championship game though, I know apparently the matchup with the 49ers they just had no answers for them, but seems like they could have got some OL / WR help and see if they can make a run at it again. Maybe they are tired of Rodgers schtick, but when he's on he's really good, so it seems like the talent kinda beats out the pain in the butt he can be.

It could be they are tired of Rogers schtick and want to go younger and trade him now while he's got some value. In fact Rogers may want a change of scenery?
If they get another vet to buy Love a year or two, they may have their next gun slinger, risky Farve like qb?
 
Love's not going to be ready to compete at a high level for a while. Trading Rodgers would be closing the door on their current competitive window, IMO. I don't think they'd want to do that. I think they'll use the rest of the draft to try and improve the team around Rodgers, see how far they can go in the next 2-3 years with Rodgers and then hope Love can take over.
 
Love the Wills selection for my Browns. Needed to shore up that OLine, adding him and Conklin is big.

probably so..I think he's got one more year after this on his extension.

I don't think they trade him, but I also think using a number 1 pick on a project when you have a QB seems... odd, especially trading up for it.

I think the Pack are going with Aaron Rodgers for at least another 2 seasons thereby giving Love time to acclimate to the NFL.

Do you think there was any danger in Love being gone by the time they drafted had they not traded up?

Yes, I think some team would have traded up to 30/31 to select him in the first round if he were still available, because first round picks get a fifth-year option, so drafting a quarterback at the end of the first round is much better than drafting him in the second. You get an extra year of control before free agency.

He has some Mahomes potential if everything clicks. The Packers clearly putting him on the Rodgers/Favre program. Draft the successor while the current franchise quarterback is still playing.

In order for anyone to have some Mahomes potential they better have like 3-4 ridiculously fast WR's, a semi-generational TE, and an offensive-minded coach that loves drawing up plays. The packers right now, I'm not sure they have any of those things. heh.

Yeah, the Packers are a long way from the Chiefs' overall offense. "Mahomes potential" basically means an athletic quarterback capable of zipping accurate lasers to all parts of the field, from a variety of platforms and arm angles. That could also describe the young Aaron Rodgers, himself.

I would have liked to see them trade up into late first to get a LB like Kenneth Murray. Stats prove that guys in first round become productive players much more often. Browns traded down so much over the years, thinking they were such good talent evaluators, and it sure didn't work out well. I like trading up for a guy you really like.
 
Whoa--Jalen Hurts to Philadelphia?! Very interesting
 
There we go Spielman! Digging that OT pick in round 2!

Here's what I am talking about. Traded down in the third round when some decent wide receivers were available. I don't expect Beckham to be with them much longer and this draft had a lot of good WR's.

Then they pass up on a really good receiver in Duvernay, third most catches in CFB this year, and a good organization like Baltimore trades into the third round right behind them to get him.
 
I think the Packers have had a very... strange draft. You never know how these guys will work though.

Drafting RB AJ Dillon, TE/FB Josiah Deguara, G Jon Runyan, C Jake Hanson, and G Simon Stepaniak suggests they're all-in with the zone scheme running attack.

I think we will probably see 3 RBs utitilized in the running game similar to the 49ers during this last season and we might even see Aaron Jones used more for his receiving skills like Austin Ekeler.
