[QUOTE="Favre>Rodgers259, post: 829676, member: 10866"] It makes perfect sense. Packers have two picks in the 1st Round, so teams are left guessing, "Do they take him at 12th or do they hope he lasts til 30th?" Once the Packers are on the clock at 12th, teams will come calling. Lock is viewed as a potential franchise QB, so Gute can fleece the potential trade partner for their 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th this year. If we're talking pics in 2020 the price goes higher. At 30th teams will try and trade in front of the Packers for Lock. That means a player or players Gute is targeting might hang on til the Packers come back on the clock. Or a team may trade the Packers out of the 1st Round for compensation that should equal two pics in the 2nd or 3rd Round to maximize value. This is the obviously the least preferred scenario but Gute can make it work. Again this is highly unlikely given the teams I previously mentioned who need a QB, ESPECIALLY the Dolphins who have an overweight Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Redskins with the combination of Case Keenum and Colt McCoy. THE ONLY way I see Gute actually drafting Lock is having a HARD verbal commitment from Rodgers that he's retiring by 2023. It would be flat out idiotic to draft Lock just for him to never start for the Packers and wind up playing for somewhere else after being an understudy of the best QB in the league for 5 years. To be honest I'm pretty sure Lock doesn't want to wait til he's nearly 30 before he makes his first NFL start either. [/QUOTE]
