NFL Winners and Losers: Jordan Love draft pick was a fiasco for the Packers

When the Packers took Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, it was instantly a bad pick. Most people seemed to know that at the time it happened.

The Packers should have been building around Aaron Rodgers, not taking a mistake-prone prospect from Utah State to sit for a while. They passed on some good receivers to take Love. They were apparently too caught up in their history, trying to replicate the success of the Rodgers pick when they took their next star QB late in the first round despite having Brett Favre.
