Even if he didn't end up as a core player.I would definitely agree that drafting Love worked out in the long haul if he develops into a good starter for the Packers.Lazard was the Packers' #1 receiver while Higgins was behind Chase on the Bengals' depth chart. Therefore him putting up significantly better numbers strongly indicates he's a much better pass catcher.As a side note, I'm not suggesting drafting Higgins instead of Love would have turned the Packers into a perennial Super Bowl contender. First of all there was no need for that back in 2020 as they already were one at that point. But, he might have made a difference in playoff losses to the Bucs or the Niners. Just for the record, I don't know about that but neither do you that it wouldn't have happened either.Higgins put up better numbers in 2021 and came pretty close in '20 than Lazard did in those seasons combined. Once again, he would have significantly improved the talent level at wide receiver in each of those seasons. Would it have been good enough to win a Lombardi? I don't know.</blockquote>
