[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1036389, member: 18006"] I'm not sure it was necessary to notify Rodgers, or for that matter even a good idea, given how temperamental he can be. Gute apparently didn't have a solid intention to draft Love until shortly before the pick was made - possibly even as close as one slot prior to our pick. Going into the draft, QB was certainly among the options he was considering, but when you're picking #30, there's just no way to assume any particular player is likely to still be there. There's credible reporting that says Green Bay was seriouslly considering Brandon Ayuk with that pick, because Minnesota had just drafted Justin Jefferson and nobody expected them to take another WR with #25. Suposedly, the trade up was intended to take Ayuk, but the Vikings traded the pick to the Niners at the last second and [I]they [/I]took him - at which point, Green Bay decided pull the trigger on the trade with Miami and take Love instead. If Gutekunst had told Rodgers prior to the draft that he was thinking QB, and then drafted Brandon Ayuk, he's poked the prima dona with a stick for no real purpose. Besides, Rodgers himself was asked just a few weeks prior to the draft what he would think if Green Bay took an early quarterback. Here is what he said: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1770555/2020/04/24/behind-the-packers-stunning-decision-to-draft-qb-jordan-love-in-first-round/[/URL] So. He says he has no problem with it, it's fine, anything that makes the team better, it's just a business., he understands, he doesn't feel threatened, etc. And then they draft a quarterback, and he gets pissy about it? Man up, you arrogant baby. [/QUOTE]
