[QUOTE="thequick12, post: 875972, member: 9797"] I agree with your theory, having posted the exact same thing right after the draft. It's obvious mlf fell in love with the first 3 picks and gute clearly took a lot of input from mlf in making those picks. I don't disagree with doing that if you hire a coach you should give him the pieces he needs to do things his way. However that doesn't necessitate reaching for players or trading up for a guy that would have 99% fallen to you at #30 because no one else was after a qb in the first round. Basically gute should have been more patient and he could have gotten the same players without giving up #136. Then trade up for Mims in the 2nd, I think he went like 3 picks before the packers, so it wouldn't have taken much to be aggressive and get him. Grab Dillion in the 3rd and deguara in the 4th. Just that one change would have made this a much more palatable draft and I believe a much better one. Like you said it still would come down to Love as to whether this was a good draft just like Rodgers made 2005 a good draft. But at least you would of gotten a top wr prospect for the immediate future as well as your guy for 4 years down the road. Because this has definitely started the clock on Rodgers career in GB. Just like drafting Rodgers assured that Favres last season in green bay would be 2007. They had to let Rodgers play because they had to know whether or not to pay him a big money extension. The Packers are now going to have to let Love play in his 5th season to see if he's worthy of a big money extension. There's only two ways that doesn't happen, one Rodgers with a renewed chip on his shoulder plays so we'll that he forces the Packers to trade Love or two Love just isn't the guy and it's clear to the point where they don't need to give him a chance...
