We did go after Jordy and Cobb and eventually Davante. Those 2nd Rounders are considerable investments. That said we’re talking about over 15 years of starts for Aaron. So I think I can say verifiably that wasn’t enough. They also didn’t go after a premier TE either during that time. We selected ZERO TE’s across Rd1-Rd2 across Rodgers 15 seasons. 3 of the 4 TE’s selected during his tenure were very late RD3 and 1 was a comp pickNelson at #36 (‘08)Jermichael at #91 (‘08)Cobb at #64 (‘11)Davante #53 (‘14)Richard Rodgers #98 (‘14)Jace Sternberger #75 (‘19)Josiah Deguara #94 (‘20)Amari Rodgers #85 (‘21)Christian Watson #34 (‘22)Across 15 starting seasons we invested in TE or WR:Rd1  ZERORd2 4-36,64,53,34Rd3 5-91,98,75,94,85There’s 5 Wideouts across 48 possible draft Selections in Day1-2Just 4 WR’s selected in Day2 across 14 years and only 1 was a Top 50 selection (Jordy) until after a long 6 year drought at WR in Day1-2 (enters Amari)I’m not sure that’s not the least amount of resources spent at WR across all 32 NFL franchises right there. I’d be willing to wager if it’s not the worst capital at WR across 15 consecutive drafts? it’s the 2nd worst by a thin margin.</blockquote>
