I think they just got walloped by the massive run on WRs that happened in the middle of the round and their 2nd day WR picks are going to very much determine how bad extending Rodgers looks in hindsight. He's 100% the kind of QB to elevate comparatively raw receiving talent. I don't think they had realistic options besides building up the run D beyond massively reaching for a wideout out of desperation.
I don't think throwing everything at the wall for a first round WR really works out. Packers have like 9 more picks in this draft (2 second, 2 third, 4th, 5th, 3 7ths) so some mid tier WRs that Rodgers can work with seems like the play. But our defense is always a little bit suspect. Plus we spent a first round pick last year on Amari Rodgers. Our (realistic) WR core is Watkins, Cobb, Lazard, and Rodgers. Not terrible but not great. One or two mid round picks and then its decent. But we have Tonyan, 2 good backs, Rodgers at QB, and an improving defense
As a LT, he is considered to be a good pass blocker. I feel like these picks in early rounds, you can't really go wrong with linemen since thats probably one of the top positions on the field behind the QB. Seattle is probably in a rebuilding mode so if they decide to take a QB this year instead of trying to get one next year, then the entire organization's backroom should be yeeted into the Pacific
He's less of a risky prospect than Ifedi was when we drafted him. I dunno, we kinda suck at OL talent evaluation, so it's gonna take seeing him in the season to really have an idea of his potential. I'll be surprised if we draft a QB before the 4th round. Pete's more likely to build the trenches and improve the run game around Lock/Smith and we'll ride a middling to bad record to nab someone like CJ Stroud in 2023.
Next years QB draft looks really good. I wouldn't want to waste any draft capital this year with how deep every other position is on a QB if I didn't really need to
Yeah, my dream draft is we spend the 2nd-3rd rounders on Edge, C and CB, the 4-5th rounders on general line depth/maybe a RB, and BPA in the 7th.
In all honesty, Pete doesn't need much at QB to do anything. I think you guys let Locke or Smith take the rains for 2 years, beef up other positions this year, get a QB next year that can sit for most the year and learn, and be good in 2 years.
Lol you must not have been paying attention to the Rodgers and Adams shenanigans prior to this draft
The least bad fans are the ones you can tolerate from another conference. Usually the second team that you secretly support. The worst fans are the teams within your division
Over in my division in most disliked to least the order is Rams, 49ers and Cardinals (Well bandwagoners of the Rsms otherwise they are Cardinals fans tier (I cannot stand Stsn Kroenke with all he has done), 49ers are meh tier and i feel bad for Cardinals fans
The answer is always no.
Of course its no. We drafted a decent WR and a RT for our line and yet people will be bitching because nobody knows what we actually need but they can certainly bitch about it
