The praise for Gute regarding the Rodgers situation feels a lot like when a NBA GM gets praised for moving a bad contract..that he gave out. Like yeah he fixed a mess but he also created the mess to begin with.

So two bags of balls?

Hopefully a 2nd but would take a 3rd.

Does Indy have any of the perceived draft night interest now that they’ve moved on from Wentz?

I wonder....

On their pundit described short list, Trubisky's gone to the Steelers, Watson's seemingly out of play for the Colts, Wilson's gone to Denver, Murray's snit may get him a renegotiated contract in AZ, Brady and Rogers are staying put.

That leaves a smaller pool of potential vets: Garapolo? and Mayfield???. One of the draftee QB's in a less than stellar class.

Love may not look so bad to them (no pun intended)

*edit* Cousins staying put too.

Teams looking for a potential franchise QB are definitely gonna gauge the market on Love. Garrapola and Mayfield would just be placeholders for the next guy. They're 30 and 26 respectively. That's why a lot of us were arguing that it's still a good investment to hang onto a young, talented, back-up QB. Look no further than what the Pats did with the aforementioned Jimmy G when they traded him to San Fran for a 2nd round pick after he started all of 2-games.

Take it with a grain of salt, but Mel Kiper apparently grades Love higher than any QB in this current draft class. Wouldn't surprise me if some team was willing to cough up a high 2nd round pick considering how weak this class is. Ironically would really shut up the "we wasted a draft pick on Jordan Love" crowd.

Anyone have thoughts on Punter Johnny Hekker? I'd sign him up.

The Patriots took Garoppolo with the 62nd pick and traded him for the 43rd pick. We traded 30 and 136 to get to 26 and now we're hoping to maybe get a 2nd in return.

Well, Jimmy G. didn't look like a pile of hot garbage when he got a chance to play.

I just think he's going to be a crazy field flipping weapon in the NFL.

Yes, 1st+4th for 2nd... great deal!

Moved back 10 spots in the draft and gave up a 4th rounder for insurance on the franchise QB. Who cares?

I've defended the pick, but it was a 1st rounder that didn't contribute in Rodgers' prime. With hindsight it's pretty easy to see it as a huge L.

So the original point remains, he still is a waste of 1st round pick.

Bad insurance, IMO. A good insurance is having Nick Foles as a backup QB, not a rookie QB who every scout knew before the draft that clearly wasn't ready (and after some years he still isn't). Even if the insurance is planning for the future (in case Rodgers leaves), we would have wasted some cheap years of his contract.

If we had drafted a WR we would be way better in the previous seasons and we wouldn't need to re-sign Adams, MVS and Lazard to keep our WR depth good, because we would have a young WR in a rookie and cheap contract, instead we have to pay almost 4mil for our backup QB. Perhaps Rodgers wouldn't even have asked for Cobb, because our WR depth would be better in first place and he could trust them.

Ron Swanson · Post #1180 » by **Ron Swanson** » Wed Mar 16, 2022 1:08 pm

Oh I'm not saying they didn't end up losing value even if they get great pick compensation for Love. Of course they did. The point is that I'm pretty sure Pats fans didn't really care that they spent a Top-60 draft pick on Brady insurance for 3 years when they won 2 Super Bowls in that span, then ended up with a nice draft pick anyways. If I burn a late-1st and get a differed early-2nd rounder two years later when my roster has more holes to fill?
