Chicago Bears Draft: NFC North sees mixed first round

Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers probably made the biggest splash of the entire draft. They traded up from pick 31 to pick 26 to select Jordan Love from Utah State University. That is not something anybody expected from the Packers going into the draft. Aaron Rodgers is still there and in his prime but now things are going to get very interesting. The organization made it clear that he is on the clock with Love looking over his soldier.

Rodgers made it clear that he thought it would be cool if they drafted a running back or wide receiver in the first round. They haven’t done that in the 15 years that he has been in the NFL. Instead of getting him another weapon, they went with his potential replacement.

This is something that Bears fans can find joy in for now. Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks who ever lived but the Packers already may see the finish line for him. Love was pretty good at Utah State but he doesn’t scream future Hall of Famer at you like Green Bay’s last two quarterbacks did.

At Utah State, he had 3402 passing yards on 293 completions in 2019. He had 20 touchdown passes and 17 interceptions as he completed 61.9 percent of his passes. It was certainly an interesting move for Green Bay and one that nobody expected.
