Peter Bukowski @Peter_Bukowski Interesting nugget from @AlbertBreer who talked to Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst in Green Bay.

Gutey said if they’d known going into the draft they’d take a QB, they would have told 12. Breer adds they wanted a WR or an OT and tried to trade up, but their guys were gone.

And according to Breer, the #Packers assumed Jordan Love would be gone. Clearly they had a very high opinion of him as a player.

It wasn’t a consolation prize, just not how they predicted it would play out.

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm in the right place. I'm new here, just joined.

I'm not surprised as I really liked two, but I thought and hoped the top 4 would be off the board before Tom Brady's Bucs got to pic and that would have a weakness for Tom... and I was pissed went not only did teams not take the OTs, but let one of the best two OTs in my mind drop to the 4th OT taken and for the Bucs, which had great protection for Brady. But the Bucs had the 4th one by pick #13.

Maybe they thought one of those top 4 would drop, but I highly doubt it...

Only other OT taken before the Packers pick was #18 Austin Jackson from USC, which I felt like the Dolphins reached for... but Jackson has elite LT athleticism he's too reliant on it and way too raw with his technique... it's probably going to take him three or four year to every come close to maximizing his full potential, and that's assuming he's can and really wants to learn the technic. I wonder if they would of been interested in him, or if they're thinking one of the top 4 shockingly drops.



Either way, I feel like the Giants have an idiot at GM... as I felt like of the top 4 OTs available... he clearly didn't pick the best one... depending on how you look at it, I think you can make different cases for different guys being the best one... weather you most interested in pass protection, run blocking, or others factors... I just don't see how he was the #1 of all of them taken. But hey, they are the professionals, and have inside access, not me.
