But but but the Packers know how to draft WRs!!!! Waaaaaaaahhhhh!!! Everyone knows WRs are how you win Super Bowls!!! Waaaaaaah!!! Madden! Waaahhhhh!!!! Fantasy! Waaaahhh!!! Draft Kings! Ughhhhh I think I just cameFor what it's worth (which means probably nothing), I've heard it being touted on here and in other places that the current front office might be adopting the "Packer Way" when it comes to personnel/team building. I have just this to say about that: The "Packer Way" has produced just one SB since the Patriots have won 6 (while appearing in 9). Also, Packer management did not do a good job of giving Aaron Rodgers or Brett Farve before him, sufficient talent to win more than their combined 2 SB Championships. I absolutely believe that the core of any legit SB contending/winning team is built through the draft (with smart FA acquisitions to complete the puzzle). That being said, with few exceptions, SB winning teams need a Franchise QB. Brock Purdy is a good QB and had a superior team around him on offense and a solid defense and special teams. But, until he ever proves otherwise, he's not Elite. And, the team that he and San Francisco lost to, primarily lost because the Chiefs had an Elite QB. I know that finding a Franchise QB is often a crap shoot at best, but, if your team absolutely has the chance to draft one that they believe can be just that, then you draft that guy, sit him for his rookie season if he's on the young side, and build the team around him, then sustain it through the draft and free agency. I won't fault the team for at least swinging and missing on a possibly elite QB (which Mac Jones was never going to be). In a San Francisco situation, Jones may have been a good game manager type, but he didn't have the "It Factor". Mahomes wasn't considered a Franchise QB when he was drafted (anymore than TB was, although was much more highly rated coming into the draft than TB was). If anyone disagrees, fine. But let's just politely agree to disagree.
