[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 990868, member: 12283"] If they really do end up moving on from Rodgers, I think the draft approach needs to change. When they were trying to get over the hump with Rodgers and win a Super Bowl, it made more sense to draft for need and try to find missing pieces (e.g. Quay Walker). But if they're starting over with Love, they should lean more in the direction of premium positions: tackles, edges, corners, receivers. Draft players that can become core pieces that are really hard/expensive to find elsewhere. They should wait on tight end and on safety despite those being bigger needs. Here's every TE drafted in the 1st since 2000: -Kyle Pitts, Falcons, #4, 2021 -T.J. Hockenson, Lions, #8, 2019 -Noah Fant, Broncos, #20, 2019 -Hayden Hurst, Ravens, #25, 2018 -O.J. Howard, Buccaneers, #19, 2017 -Evan Engram, Giants, #23, 2017 -David Njoku, Browns, #29, 2017 -Eric Ebron, Lions, #10, 2014 -Tyler Eifert, Bengals, #21, 2013 -Jermaine Gresham, Bengals, #21, 2010 -Brandon Pettigrew, Lions, #20, 2009 -Dustin Keller, Jets, #30, 2008 -Greg Olsen, Bears, #31, 2007 -Vernon Davis, 49ers, #6, 2006 -Marcedes Lewis, Jaguars, #28, 2006 -Heath Miller, Steelers, #30, 2005 -Kellen Winslow Jr, Browns, #6, 2004 -Ben Watson, Patriots, #32, 2004 -Dallas Clark, Colts, #24, 2003 -Jeremy Shockey, Giants, #14, 2002 -Daniel Graham, Patriots, #21, 2002 -Jerramy Stevens, Seahawks, #28, 2002 -Todd Heap, Ravens, #31, 2001 -Bubba Franks, Packers, #14, 2000 -Anthony Becht, Jets, #27, 2000 That's 25 players over the last 23 drafts. How many of those teams ended up happy with those picks and would do it again? Five? And since 2006, the hit rate is effectively zero. [/QUOTE]
