Exec: Packers 'Almost Feels Spiteful to' Aaron Rodgers for Not Drafting WR in Round 1

Despite addressing their need for a wide receiver in the 2022 NFL draft, one executive from an opposing team thinks the Green Bay Packers' first-round picks may have been used to send a message to Aaron Rodgers.

Per The Athletic's Mike Sando, the anonymous executive said it "almost feels spiteful to Rodgers" that the Packers didn't draft a wideout with one of their two Day 1 picks.

"Sometimes these teams get caught up in their own specialness in being able to evaluate players that they think there are only 18 players with first-round grades available in the draft, and therefore that's all there really is, but at some point, the need factors in also," the executive added.
