Is J. Love yet another 1st round project?
No one, especially Rodgers, believes that anyone can replace #12 until he retires or signs with another team. However as we have seen already before,
one play can have all eyes looking to the backup QB From what I've seen/heard of Love, he has both the size as well as the physical abilities. The negative on him is his decision making during games. Weather a few NFL seasons can mature/season his field general abilities remains to be seen.
Rodgers will not be intimidated by Love or any other backup QB. That said, don't believe any media stories that may try to create a big story of a feud between Rodgers and Love, or any other Packers/coaches. Reporters are just looking for any way to elevate their carriers with a sensational story. They tried the same thing with LaFleur/Rodgers last season that never found any traction.
The loss of LB Blake Martinez should be very high priority, but let's recall how last year there were other concerns with defensive player personal that were solved with the addition of two fellows both named Smith. "Gute" has had few missteps so far as GB's GM. I'm quite sure that he is aware of what the team needs. Already FA players have been recruited. Weather they are onboard to push other players or as real potential roster additions will remain to be seen.
I too would value GB drafting a WR, LB, or an OT. Weather that happens or not, those positions will be filled by players. Their abilities or lack of abilities will reflect upon the GM as well as the Packers coaching staff. Last years success does no automatically transfer forward and responding to last seasons weaknesses or to the loss of key player/s or coaching personal should be the order of the day.
I will need to wait and see how the 2020 Packers forms into a team. For both Offensive and Defensive veterans, the 2020 season will offer greater familiarity with the LaFleur/Petite systems. I feel confident that both coaches have expressed to the GM their needs moving forward. Weather through scouting studies or with some good luck, player personal can sometimes turn out better than some thought it would.
Again, who was GB's #1 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and how did he contribute last season?
