Thursday’s flurry of reports about quarterback Aaron Rodgers‘ displeasure with the Packers and desire to play elsewhere has loomed over everything the team has done during the first two days of the draft.
That includes the decision to trade up to take wide receiver Amari Rodgers — no relation to Aaron, but he is the son of Ravens wide receivers coach Tee Martin — in the third round. It’s the highest pick the Packers have used on a wideout since taking Davante Adams in the second round in 2014 and it came after years of discussion about the lack of picks used at the position.
