One aspect of the Aaron Rodgers drama with the Green Bay Packers that I don’t think gets mentioned enough, if at all, is that the Packers don’t have a championship defense. Yes, the Packers could have used more day one and day two picks on receivers (the last one was Davante Adams in 2014). And yes, it is also true that Green Bay’s been a dominant offense with Rodgers anyway, so what’s the point of overspending draft capital on receivers and tackles when your quarterback makes everyone around him that much better?
But is Rodgers really mad that the Packers drafted a quarterback over a weapon or is the real issue that they took a quarterback over a player who could have improved their 15th-ranked defense from 2019?
