GB called Minn about moving up for Love

You have a far more optimistic view of Rodgers as a mentor than I do. I can think of two situations that would have been more beneficial to Love than the Packers, it's the Colts and Saints. In both those teams the starting QBs are 1-and -done. Brees has a tv job waiting on him and Rivers is under a 1-year contract. Far less tense situations than what he is facing in Green Bay.

Anything Love learns from Rodgers will come by observation. There won't be any tutoring or mentoring, no taking him under his wing. Why would he since Rodgers has already stated no one is taking his job from him? The congratulatory call was obligatory at best.

Had Love gone to a team where he was embraced then I feel like he would be ready to start year 2. But even so the Packers brass will be faced with extending Love on the 5th yr option by his 3rd year. Can't reasonably do that without first seeing him play in games that matter.

All I'm saying is Love can expect no love from Rodgers. I do agree that the brass has but am dumbfounded that they did absolutely nothing after round 1 to give Rodgers some legit weapons.

I'm guessing it is... they certainly had a need. Based on the cost to move up from the moves that were made, I'm guessing a lot of teams tried and failed to move up this draft.

Doesn't matter, there was viable WR talent all the way up to the 7th round and they didn't even take a flyer!  As Vikingpitbull says, every draft is different, WR was the strength of this one, to not come away with any at any point is misreading the draft.  Denver needed WR's, they picked 2.  Raiders needed WR's' they picked 3!  We needed WR's and we picked 2.  It's not hard to see the Packers needed WR badly and failed to plan accordingly.  Either they were caught off guard by how fast they went or they completely underestimated how good this WR class was, it's hard to believe that at any time not once was WR the BPA on their board, either way it's a massive fail.

That's literally ridiculous. Why would GB draft the rawest top QB in the draft to intentionally stir the pot with Aaron Rodgers after a 13-3 NFCCG?

Bob McGinn is their version of Florio.

Where any on their board? Rick passed on many players fans here wanted in positions of need and took players no one mentioned nor in large need areas. They (GB) did add in FA and maybe had an approach they wanted. Carolina picked all D and stated that wasn't their plan just how things unfolded. I'm sure there where many offensive players they could have chosen.

Again sometimes if a player you study is there especially at QB that might just trump other positions even if it's a year or two down the road. Our fan base isn't use to that approach because our GM has no vision for QBs.

We needed OL especially G and we got zip from the draft and now have 2 open spots. That isn't a positive either. Rick has basically drafted a bunch of RT and expects them to play G or C to play G vs actually getting a true G. So he is far from perfect in his approach and draft.

At WR he dipped his toe in the water for a guy that played in the slot to get his best production. We have AT for that and just how many 3or 4 wr set will we run vs 2WR/TE sets and can JJ stay on the field if he isn't a outside option? We had a huge need and barely touched the position. OL the same 1 pick didn't solve our issues yet Rick has no problem going after CB and DE each and every year. So this team has ben hurt by his approach.
