[QUOTE="Taryn Miller, post: 877310, member: 15181"] Being new to this site and obviously late to this discussion, and one who was knocked backwards a bit with the Love selection and more so because it was a trade-up move, my first thought was they'd (FO) have essentially given up on winning another SB with Rodgers, regardless of how one feels about the 13-3 record of last season. I believe the vast majority of fans were expecting more of an all-in draft to ensure, as much as possible, being one of two teams of the field in the next SB. The players that were passed on and lost via the trade-up for Love and looking at the over value they placed upon the remaining selections is spots that are still valuable to a teams draft, one cannot help but sense the towel was tossed into the ring. I know there are those who will use the 'securing the future' argument and I understand that point, but I cannot help but ask if Love is such a talent that will emerge in 2 years, why did the Raiders and Jac not select him with their second 1st round picks or why wouldn't Pitts make a trade-up to secure their after Big Ben's couple of years left, and if IND was going to draft Love ahead of GB, then only having Rivers for one year certainly should have had them be much more inclined to get him than GB, where Rodgers is for the next 4 years. 'You don't let a guy like Love go by, if you have the chance to get him.' This was the immediate defense from the FO and fans who immediately defend whatever they say. Still, teams that were in more need of the next QB in two years all passed him up. Thanks for reading while being a late entry. [/QUOTE]
