[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 875678"] Don't you agree that the draft class at wide receiver was extremely talented and deep this year??? Once again, the Packers were one of only two teams in the entire league that didn't feature at least two players with a minimum of 500 receiving yards. Is that enough to back up that they lacked talent at pass catcher??? I would love to be wrong about him but that's a huge if we're talking about here. It's obvious the Packers front office agreed that there wasn't any receiver worth of being taken with the team's second or third round pick. Unfortunately I believe that reaching for a running back and tight end at those spots was the wrong decision though. There were other reason EQ dropped to thr sixth round. There's no doubt he has talent but not sure he will be able to put it all together. It's not hard to understand the Packers front office felt more comfortable abput not selecting a wide receiver in the second or third round. I don't have to agree with it though. Instead the Packers decided it was a good idea to reach for Dillon and Deguara, who most likely will be backups this season. It's highly probable that the Packers drafted Rodgers' successor two years early and I'm not even evaluating Love's talent here to come up with this conclusion. With the way the CBA is currently structured teams want to take advantage of having a quarterback starting who is still on his rookie deal. With Gutekunst restructuring Rodgers' deal at the end of last season, adding even more dead money counting against the team's cap in future years, the 2023 season is the first one the team could actually benefit from not having their quarterbacks combine for a cap hit of at least $20 million. Unfortunately that will already be Love's final year on his rookie deal. [/QUOTE]
