[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 876241, member: 9364"] Fair enough. But I think people have legitimate reasons to question Gute's priorities and question his 1st round picks specifically. With Alexander, yeah I think he got that one right considering the problems we had had at that position in the previous two years. I still say he got the Gary pick wrong with a player that was not a need and blew a chance to get real star player with that high pick. This year... Well OK, in some ways I do like the Love pick. Management obviously does realize that at 36, Rodgers is getting pretty close to retirement, and if any more injuries like 2013, 2017 or the scare in 2018 were to happen, that day may come sooner than we think. Plus we've had nothing but garbage backup QBs since Flynn left, so having a guy like Love to fill in if needed would probably be a better option than Boyle. Having said that, I don't think getting Rodgers successor should have been a priority this draft. If WR went off the table, then get the ILB or another DL to pair up with Kenny Clark. Gute has done some good like getting the Smith bros here and hopefully getting us the DB lineup we'd been trying to get to get for a while. But his inattentiveness to WR has been pretty bad, or at least way behind Ted Thompson's drafts that gave us Greg Jennings, James Jones, Jordy, Cobb and Adams. Unless we get back on that track, the superbowl will probably remain out of reach. [/QUOTE]
