[QUOTE="CanadaCheese, post: 873743, member: 15038"] Here is Green Bay’s draft analysis [SIZE=4][B]Green Bay Packers[/B][/SIZE] The Packers had a strange draft. As Aaron Rodgers enters his 16th season, it was clear the Packers needed to get him weapons in the passing offense. That didn’t happen. Not only did the [URL='https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2020/4/24/21233951/aaron-rodgers-jordan-love-green-bay-packers-nfl-draft-2020-trade-drama']Packers draft Rodgers’ replacement in Jordan Love of Utah State[/URL], but they traded up to get him.

Late in the second round, the Packers took running back AJ Dillon.

My favorite Day 3 choice for the Packers was offensive lineman [URL='https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1361/jon-runyan']Jon Runyan[/URL]. [B]Grade: D Here is another and another D Green Bay Packers: [/B]D One day after trading up four spots to pick Jordan Love, Green Bay made a puzzling second-round decision. The Packers selected Boston College running back AJ Dillon, who will sit behind Aaron Jones on the depth chart. Cincinnati tight end Josiah Deguara does not fill an offensive void either with Marcedes Lewis, Jace Sternberger and Robert Tonyan on the roster. Green Bay missed out on the strong crop of wide receivers on three occasions and likely annoyed Aaron Rodgers in the process 3 for 3 [SIZE=5][B]D[/B][/SIZE] Green Bay Packers: Given the unprecedented stability they've enjoyed for nearly 30 years at quarterback, maybe we shouldn't argue with their methodology – which included [URL='https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/draft/2020/04/23/green-bay-packers-nfl-draft-jordan-love-quarterback-aaron-rodgers/3017930001/']a Round 1 trade for Love[/URL], Aaron Rodgers' potential heir apparent.

The Packers were one win from the Super Bowl, yet traded up to get the potential heir at quarterback to Aaron Rodgers instead of getting him offensive help.
