Rodgers had: Greg Jenning - 2nd round (#52) Jordy Nelson - 2nd round (#36) James Jones - 3rd round (#78) Davante Adams - 2nd round (#53) And now add Watson (#34) to that list And that's not counting TE like Finley, RB like Lacy, or guys that didn't really stick like Ty Montgomery. The Packers invested plenty over the years on WR/TE/RB but it's completely discounted because they do the SMART thing and don't desperately go "ooh shiny weaponz" in the first. absolutely right Adams-- 5x pro bowl, 2x 1st team All Pro Jennings -- 2x pro bowl Nelson -- 1x Pro bowl, 1x 2nd team all Pro Cobb-- 1x pro bowl Aaron Jones -- 1x pro bowl Lacy -- Offensive rookie of the year, 1x pro bowl, 1x 2nd team all pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't count out the Patriots honestly. That roster is better than I remember, especially with adding Juju, Reiff and Gesicki. Plus they get to steal him away and screw over a rival. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I wonder if it could be the Ravens. They have rumored interest in OBJ. Not sure what they have on offense aside form Andrew’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that just as one could do an all-star lineup of WRs GB missed out on, one could also have a long list of 1st rd WRs/TEs that were hot garbage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 30 minutes ago, R T said: At the end he tips his hand that it is an NFC team. Didn't listen that far. Logically, that makes the 49ers about the only choice. He also mentioned if they don't get it done before the draft it isn't happening. 49ers have no draft capital this year to get involved before the draft unless somebody would give them something of value for Lance. Not seeing that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seeing that either. A case could easily be made for a number of AFC teams. Difficult to make one for an NFC team. Carolina, Washington? Has to be a team that thinks they're close and I don't think it's the 9'ers. It could be GB prefers he retire and be done with it. Trade him for more loot and if he refuses to go there let him retire? They really screwed themselves by not moving the guy last year.

According to Carton, it's the Niners and entails multiple 3rd round picks this year and a #1 next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that leak, from the Packer camp the only real possibility. I like the get and I could care less if he goes there. Be nice to get one good affordable D player from them on top of it though. Just hard to believe this could seep out unless it is by design, and if it is the impasse with NY is greater than many thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I've gone on record as SF being the only team I wouldnt want to trade AR to because I think it pretty much assures them a deep run in the Playoffs and I'm biased against them. The multiple 3s would give us collateral to move around/up this year. We'll see. This will all play out soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 of their 3rd rounders are worth pick 61, so they can't come close to matching the Jets 2nd rounder. So unless it's a 3 team deal, just not sure how the Niners become viable.

By offering an unprotected first in 2024 and a nonconditional second in 2025 along with the 3 thirds this year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
