“#Pat McAfee on ‘boring’ Packers plan, Aaron Rodgers<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Pat McAfee isn\u2019t expecting another NFL Draft shocker from the Green Bay Packers, just them going about their normal business. That again might not be a great thing for Aaron Rodgers.<\/p>\n

The Packers made one of the stunning moves of the draft last year, trading up to select Utah quarterback Jordan Love No. 26 overall while still having a then 36-year-old Rodgers, who won the MVP this past season, under contract until 2023.<\/p>\n

Love, 22, was the first offensive skill player the Packers selected in the first round since 2005, when Rodgers was taken to eventually replace Brett Favre. McAfee, the former Colts punter and host of \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show\u201d on SiriusXM, believes it continues a trend of Green Bay planning for the future instead of doing everything it can to win a Super Bowl right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at the top of the AFC and if you look at the top of the NFC, there are teams that are absolutely loaded with talent, just an immense amount of talent,\u201d McAfee, who recently joined WWE\u2019s commentary team on \u201cFriday Night SmackDown,\u201d said in a phone interview. \u201cThey got weapons galore. If you went all-in around Aaron Rodgers and got him maybe a talented wide receiver, another one even though Davante [Adams is] incredible, and big Bob Tonyan\u2019s great and MVS [Marquez Valdes-Scantling] is a stud.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if they would go in and get more weapons around him so if somebody gets injured they\u2019re OK and they can make a run, or maybe bulking up that defense that seems to get beat whenever they have to make a stop. There\u2019s a lot of things they could do, but with the Packers it seems like what they always do is they just prepare for the future and kind of mail it in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Green Bay, which lost at home to the Buccaneers in the NFC Championship game<\/a> last season after going 13-3, will pick at No. 29 in the 2021 NFL Draft on Thursday. Rodgers has expressed uncertainty about how much longer he will be wearing the green and gold, but Packers general<\/a> manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters Monday the team remains committed to Rodgers \u201cfor the foreseeable future\u201d and \u201cAaron\u2019s our guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

McAfee, while unsure what the Packers will do, expects them to take the \u201cboring route\u201d and continue to lay a foundation for the future while the rest of the NFL\u2019s elite teams are doing everything they can to win a championship in 2021. He could see them drafting an offensive lineman after losing center Corey Linsley to the Chargers in free agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll make some boring move that will end up being good for them as they get three years from now and the team will still be good, but Aaron Rodgers is the best in the game, the MVP,\u201d said McAfee, who had Rodgers as a weekly guest on his radio show last season. \u201cIf they were just to make some moves and go all-in and think differently than they\u2019ve chosen to do it would be great news<\/a> for everybody, including Packers fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

While McAfee is leery of Green Bay\u2019s willingness to go for it all, he loves how aggressive the Giants have been in free agency with co-owner John Mara saying he\u2019s tired of losing. He could see Big Blue also drafting an offensive lineman to get further protection for quarterback Daniel Jones.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just like the fact that it seems like the mindset of the Giants is that they are gonna go all-in and try to win some games,\u201d McAfee said.<\/p>\n

As the Giants look to take the next step with Jones, the Jets are starting over again at quarterback. McAfee hasn\u2019t seen a ton of film on quarterback Zach Wilson, whom it\u2019s presumed the Jets will take No. 2 overall, but those he\u2019s talked to about the former BYU star have spoken highly of him. He believes Wilson has \u201call the traits to be a great pro\u201d and his success will come down to what pieces general manager Joe Douglas is able to put around him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s incredibly athletic, he has this incredibly calming demeanor, he\u2019s been there, done that with everything it feels like,\u201d McAfee said of Wilson.<\/p>\n

He also isn\u2019t ready to give up on Sam Darnold, whom the Jets traded to the Panthers for a bevy of draft picks. McAfee believes the former No. 3 overall pick still has a chance to be a great quarterback. We will soon find out if former Jets coach Adam Gase was part of the reason he never panned out in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs Sam Darnold an absolutely incredible football player? We just don\u2019t know because of the situation he\u2019s been in,\u201d McAfee said. \u201cWe\u2019ll find out in Carolina. I think he needed a fresh start. I think the Jets needed a fresh start.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
