Rodgers was drafted the year before Jennings. Wasn't the starting QB yet obviously but was already a packer

Espn had him as the 47th best player. He was not sliding to the 3rd or 4th round.

2nd-3rd round wrs and tight ends drafted during Rodgers tenure Nelson Jennings Cobb Adams Watson Jones Finley That doesn't include the not as good or bad Amari and Richard Rodgers Segura Sternberger Murphy

I don't think. Van Ness was on some of the top 5 available lists when the Packers drafted. He was mocked to the Packers a lot. Seems right about where anticipated

So glad we didn't go te

Not sure why people are surprised here. Van Ness fits the Packers defensive philosophy so well.

But back to Rodgers with this being a Rodgers thread. With reports saying the Packers are asking for a 1st plus more what are the odds this deal gets done before the draft? There isn't a huge rush before then. The Packers seem very firm in their asking price.

That is a reasonable take. I will say the league did not value him much at all. In a year where Jakobi Meyers was the best free agent wr (read that as a really bad wr year) who landed a 3 year 30 million deal hardman only landed a 1 year 6 million deal. The league did not value him very highly

To be over shadowed by that wr group is sort of an indictment isn't it? Juju, MVS, toney. No one really impressive at all outside of their all world right end.

I was like say the chiefs also didn't trust hardman going into last season. They signed two new wrs and drafted Moore. Then they didn't commit to him this year. Seems like they didn't view him as a key piece

Is he still? In 25 games the last two years he had 62 receptions for 792 yards. He did have 41 first downs I guess but those are super pedestrian per game averages.

That would be insanity. He had 48 receptions (on 72 targets) in 12 games with the Rams. And he is coming off an ACL tear. And he is old. Anything more than an incentive laden contract would be insane

Do we really think obj is top end wr anymore? Old and coming off another significant injury

Hardman and lazard are the exact type of wrs that Rodgers has had. Incomplete wrs. Hardman has topped 5 catches in a game 3 times in his 4 years playing with arguably the best QB in football. His is nice depth but not a proven wr. Lazard is a great blocker and a dependable wr who cannot...

I am not sure how people don't think this is hindering the Packers in free agency. Even if they know what Rodgers is doing perspective players do not. A player is going to be less likely to sign with a team when there is uncertainty at the most important position on the field. I wouldn't go to a...
