[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 910004, member: 7261"] This sounds like hedging on your part to me. "Too tempting to pass up at #30", but because we moved 4 spots and gave away a 4th round pick to do so, the price was way too high? How would you have felt had TT used a 4th round to move up and select Rodgers, instead of waiting for him to drop in his lap? Take a look at players the Packers have selected through the years at both #30 as well as #136 (late 4th rd.) You still worried about giving up a #136 pick for an attempt at drafting the #1 position on the team? The pick at the time wasn't popular, because very few of us saw the need, including myself. Well, Rodgers is now proving "the need" was possibly warranted, so maybe we should all say that Gute made a brilliant pick, because he knew something was up with Rodgers and Love was a guy he felt was not just a bargain at 26, but a potential insurance policy, in case Rodgers decided he didn't want to play for the Packers anymore. Imagine how stupid Gute would look now had he not taken Love and it came out that he knew Rodgers had 1 foot out the door. Oh wait, that doesn't fit with the narrative that Love is the sole reason Rodgers wants out of Green Bay. Also, does anyone think that had Love not been selected, Gute wouldn't have wanted to go after one in this past draft? Who was available at #29 or even close to #29? Mac Jones went at #15....and Kyle Trask at #64. [/QUOTE]
