[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 872764, member: 13032"] Good perspective. Some people will hate the Love pick. Some will “love” the Love pick. Most of us will likely react as we did in 2005 when Rodgers was selected - Huh? WTF! I have to look forward and ignore that nagging voice that says we could have had ILB Queen with the same pick. That’s a false equivalent though, because one pick is for the long term, one for the short term. I also can’t help thinking that the Packers were one game away from the SB after a 14-4 season and just needed a few pieces, notably WR, OT, and ILB - and that a seemingly great ILB prospect will go elsewhere. Truth is, we just don’t know if this was a good move or not. I know I didn’t like the Rodgers pick in 2005. He struck me as kind of a gangly player with weak throwing mechanics (remember how he held the ball high, right next to his ear when he played at Cal?). So how wrong was that? Way wrong. So we’ll wait and see. Ty I like your dream outcome, that we address the future and the now in one draft. That could happen. I’d argue that GB under Wolf, TT, and Gluten have done better in later rounds anyway. So time to take a deep breath, and if anything, salute Gluten for his guts in making this pick. He’ll end up a saint or a martyr. Time, as always, will tell. [/QUOTE]
