[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 872532"] I don't like the selection of Love at all. While the move has a slim chance of working out the same way as Thompson drafting Rodgers in 2005 let's be realistic about it, that doesn't happen all that often in the first place. In addition it differs significantly from the situation 15 years ago as Rodgers hasn't hinted at retirement even once and Love wasn't considered to be a possible #1 overall pick who dropped for whatever reason. In my opinion Love is a boom or bust prospect who is capable of making deep throws with ease but struggles with his decision making as well as when being pressured. While he put up decent numbers against Mountain West opponents he struggled against Power 5 teams throwing eight interceptions in four games against Wake Forest, Michigan State and LSU. In addition let's be aware that Love threw the most INTs of all quarterbacks in the FBS last season. While his numbers looked more impressive in 2018 you have to realize that he threw 18 of his touchdown passes in four games against BYU, Nevada-Las Vegas, New Mexico and San Jose State, teams which combined to have a 15-34 record while playing in the Mountain West conference. I'm fully aware the Packers still have eight picks left and that it's way too early to evaluate this year's draft but on the other side there's no doubt the first rounder is the most valuable one and Gutekunst did nothing to upgrade the team for most likely at least the next two years. With the team having made the NFCCG last season I would have definitely preferred to spend the pick on another position to improve the chances of making it to the Super Bowl in 2020. Once again, Gutekunst trading up to select Love might end up being a genius move down the road but at this point there's no reason to like it by any means in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
