[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1014549, member: 10086"] That’s the thing. We know with Aaron Rodgers that on occasion a Bonafide top draft prospect slides some. Rodgers ‘05 slide was possibly the biggest Error across 20 drafting teams throughout history. While not every year is that dramatic, it is a learning lesson not to close ourselves into positional blinders, which is sort of what you alluded to. Now I’m not suggesting we SHOULD draft at QB but if I’m Gute and he thinks a QB is worthy of a top 1-2 selection and he’s there at say… #8 or #10? Sorry to hurt people’s feelings but I’d take him. There’s lots of options. We all also saw what happened with Favre. He gets drafted in Round 2 and traded a year later for a Day1. It’s a gamble but losing a year didn’t hurt his value one bit. A #10 overall draft pick is a relatively cheap price to pay IF that Player leads our team for 15 seasons. Actually I still think a #26 overall (Love) is cheap just to get an average to good QB. If we had Maye and he started tearing it up we could trade Love and likely get in the area of a full refund. Then fans would have to similarly attack Maye!! :roflmao: Had you asked me what Love was worth a year ago? I’d have said a top 50 and many would’ve argued that’s way to high for a variety of reasons but most obvious is loss of cheap contract. If you asked me again today? He’s worth a later Day1 (or equivalent) in trade at this moment in time. I might be low on that I think I’d probably keep Love for a #26 truthfully. We did alright. [/QUOTE]
