Either way, I'm glad Gute at least appeased me (and 12) by drafting his first pre-Day 3 WR. Just ribbing you about your obsession with the idea that the Packers are trying trade up every year in the 1st round to draft a WR, but for some reason just can never get it done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even explained why they seemingly gave up so much draft capital — because they really liked Rodgers. Based on his comments, it sounds like Myers and Rodgers were both high on their board for the 2nd round. Edit: Listening further, he actually goes on to compare the situation to TT trading up for Clay Matthews. They really, really like Rodgers. I'm still haunted we drafted Trever Davis over Tyreek Hill who went 4 picks later. I don't mind giving up capital for the right player. He looks like a great prospect.

Hey, nobody disputes that you're the 4th wheel in the packers front office. Your never-ending stream of authoritative comments on all their machinations prove it beyond a doubt. You can put all of this nonsense to rest by giving us a glimpse of the draft boards you and Gute have put together. I'm sure not one of them had a single WR with a 1st round grade, but there are still some non-believers out there. Close this case already so you can get on with 'splaining to all the know-nothings what they should be thinking about managements current motivations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would love share that with you, but that is double top secret information and anyone outside of the war room that laid eyes on it would need to be killed immediately. Now we don't want that kind tragedy on our hands do we? It is nice that you understand my brilliance though, thank you for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close this case already so you can get on with 'splaining to all the know-nothings what they should be thinking about managements current motivations. So let's get this straight... We have one viewpoint that suggests GB has targeted a 1st round WR We have a second viewpoint that suggested GB has not The evidence is such that GB hasn't drafted a 1st round WR and that Gute WILL trade up (including in the first round) for players he really likes And your conclusion is that the side with evidence that supports their stance is the side that should be subject to ridicule and has the onus of providing additional "proof"? The burden of proof realistically lies with the side making claims that have not actually come to fruition methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
