come on now your just defending this FO, we move up to get targeted players every year, instead of moving up for LOVE we should have went the extra distance for Jeffereson, even Auiak was only one pick away, what happened is we sat on our hands and watched as players that could have really made a diff. this year where snatched up., and what has Dillon shown you that he even has a fit in MLF's offense, and the jury is still in recess concerning the ability of DEquara, the future is now for Aaron Rodgers, and Love is no more then a prayer.go pak go wrote: ↑22 Nov 2020 09:17I can get behind Patrick Queen because he was available at our pick.Yoop wrote: ↑22 Nov 2020 08:55what amasses me is that the FO didn't do everything possible to move up and take Justin Jefferson, or take a player like him later in last years draft class, MLF wants to run a small ball offense yet they pass on Small ball talent.Drj820 wrote: ↑21 Nov 2020 17:55I’m pretty surprised the packers don’t have an Ervin clone ready to be called up from the practice squad when ever Tyler is out. I mean he adds a nice wrinkle to our O, and “guy who can return punts, and is good at jet sweeps and motion but not running the ball from the tailback position” doesn’t seem like an impossible skill set to locate.
I will not get behind, the FO shoulda moved up for Jefferson or Auyick. Those players were not realistically within our grasp. They were taken too high. We would have had to jump MN who had WAY more draft capital then we had. You know how much we would have had to give up to jump MN? Because you know the trading partner would call MN and say, "GB is trying to jump you...what do you got?"
The draft picks behind...come on. Dillon has shown bright spots and Deguara did too before the injury.
Its one thing to use hindsight. Its another thing to use hindsight on players we just wouldn't have been able to get.
My top three wants were Queen, Jefferson and Aiyuck. I was with you. I want them. I also wanted TJ Watt. But it's far too early to nitpick about 2020 draft picks. Especially when our offense is clearly showing it has the horses to do whatever they want to teams.
The only time our offense has been stopped is because Rodgers sucked at Tampa. The wind took the ball away against MN and Adams dropped balls and fumbled the ball vs JAX.
an d this offense has not shown that it has the weapons to compete against excellent defenses with second level lber talent, both Jefferson and Ayaik are weapons that work well against these type defenses, you and others complain when Rodgers is holding the ball, he's holding it because most of the receivers we have can't separate fast enough for him to get rid of it, instead of accepting that reality you clamor on that Rodgers has lost his ability to see open receivers, when we all know all QB's miss open receivers.
I'll cheer on all the receivers we have, I hope for the best from all of them, however I'am also a realist, and right now we are short a excellent slot receiver that could make Rodgers job a lot easier.
Jefferson has 700 plus receiving yards, we'd probably be undefeated right now if we had moved up and taken him.
20th pick - Jacksonville Jaguars select K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE, from LSU.
21st pick - Philadelphia Eagles select Jalen Reagor, WR, from TCU.
22nd pick - Minnesota Vikings select Justin Jefferson, WR, from LSU.
23rd pick - Los Angeles Chargers (traded pick with Patriots) select Kenneth Murray, LB, from Oklahoma.
24th pick - New Orleans Saints select Cesar Ruiz, C, from Michigan.
25th pick - San Francisco 49ers (traded pick with Vikings) select Brandon Aiyuk, WR, from Arizona State.
26th pick - Packers select Jordan Love, QB, from Utah State.
he became my fav of last years draft and imho would fit Lafluers offense to a tee, but mostly I was just ranting, if we play up to our ability we can compete against anyone.
