Leader Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Peter Bukowski - John Lynch told Peter King they had CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Aiyuk rated about the same and they'd have taken him at 13 if things went nuts in front of them. Said they went to 25 assuming Minnesota didn't want to take another WR. That jumped Green Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Bucky Brooks - Never too early to get the next franchise QB The Green Bay Packers have been perennial contenders over the past three decades due to their stability at the quarterback position. The team transitioned from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers without skipping a beat, with a pair of Super Bowl wins, 13 division titles and 20 playoff berths with No. 4 or No. 12 at the helm. Although the hand off from a three-time MVP to a young quarterback who emerged as a two-time MVP himself was viewed as controversial at the time, it's hard to dispute the results now. With that in mind, I can't understand why the football world is miffed by the team's decision to use a first-round pick on Utah State quarterback Jordan Love. Sure, the move prevented the team from theoretically adding another offensive weapon to the mix in the short term, but the quarterback is the most impactful position in the game (and probably in pro sports). And bringing in a young passer to learn behind one of the best to ever do it gives the Packers an opportunity to extend their championship window deep into the 2020s. Ron Wolf: "I just think the quarterback position is so important that you can never not address it if you think you have an opportunity to take a player that can play in the league." Considering Love's athleticism, arm talent and playmaking ability compared to the aforementioned QB1s, the Packers could have a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback in place to carry them through the next decade. The Love pick might not rank as a popular one at the moment, but adding a young franchise quarterback to the roster paid huge dividends in Green Bay before. It could happen again with the Utah State product in place as the heir apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not ready to ordain him as “franchise QB” yet, and that’s no disrespect to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they open again, I'm sure it will happen daily as everyone local wants to be out for something to do. Sounds like they're getting close, I guess..

I was referring to Bucky, the dude who wrote the article that I was referencing, and a few other writers who've referred to Love as a "franchise QB".
