The “experts” weren’t impressed.
After the Green Bay Packers selected Jordan Love with their first round pick last Thursday, several national pundits were extremely critical of the pick. And when Green Bay exited the three-day draft without a wide receiver or defensive end, the criticism only intensified.
Love, of course, is now the heir apparent to Aaron Rodgers. And after the Packers came within one game of the Super Bowl in 2019, many believed this wasn’t the right time to go quarterback shopping.
When Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson drafted Rodgers 15 years ago to eventually replace Brett Favre, the Packers also took a good deal of heat.
