Original selection: Jordan Love, QB, Utah State
Where he was actually picked: No. 15 overall
How much drama could the Packers have saved had they not taken Jordan Love with this pick? In fairness, it's hard to predict that Rodgers would continue to play at the level he has through Love's rookie contract.
Still, had the Packers elected to use this pick to help Rodgers rather than find his replacement, it's hard to argue they wouldn't be better.
In this case, they get the most talented receiver left on the board. If it weren't for Jerry Jeudy's injury in 2021, he would have been higher in this hypothetical draft.
Jeudy was arguably the highest-rated receiver prospect in this class, but it's hard to tell what his ceiling is. However, he got off to a good start with 856 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie campaign.
However, his second season was a disappointment with just 467 yards in 10 games. He missed six games due to an ankle injury that put him on injured reserve.
With Russell Wilson in town, we'll get to see what Jeudy can do when he has a higher-caliber quarterback. In this scenario, we get to see that from the jump.
