\n It sounds like most of the Packers were blindsided by the team\u2019s 2020 NFL Draft drama.<\/p>\n

Star wide receiver Davante Adams says that he and his teammates were expecting general<\/a> manager Brian Gutekunst to add depth at his position in light of the highly talented draft class, not another quarterback.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, them bringing in a rookie quarterback. I mean, extremely solid quarterback. \u2026You know we were all expecting, it\u2019s no secret \u2014 we were all expecting to have a receiver drafted, but that wasn\u2019t the case,\u201d Adams told reporters on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Packers went all seven rounds without laying claim to a receiver and most notably, traded up four spots in the first round to draft polarizing Utah State gunslinger Jordan Love. The move was vexing, especially with two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers locked in for at least the next two years and in light of more pressing needs elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Rodgers carries a 2020 dead cap hit of $51.15 million, which drops to $31.56 million in 2021, then $17.2 million in 2022 and $2.85 million in 2023, according to Over The Cap, making the prospect of a trade in the first two years of Love\u2019s career financially untenable.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s most glaring gap is the lack of a clear No. 2 pass-catcher behind Adams, an area hardly addressed by adding Devin Funchess (one of the 2020 NFL opt-outs) during free agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t necessarily need \u2013 like I don\u2019t care if they brought in Julio Jones in here \u2013 that\u2019s not gonna necessarily make me work harder, because I\u2019m already a workhorse, and I already know that I\u2019m trying to be better than I was last year,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n

Six receivers were already off the board by that point, but Clemson\u2019s Tee Higgins and USC\u2019s Michael Pittman Jr. were still available. Higgins and Pittman were drafted with the first two picks of the second round.<\/p>\n

Love\u2019s negative impact on Rodgers is two-fold: The 36-year-old\u2019s passing stats will suffer without the addition of a new target, and rostering a young successor puts the aging QB on the clock, the culmination of which is expected to sow discord.<\/p>\n

Some have speculated that the move had pernicious motives, but Adams remains very optimistic of the situation in spite of Rodgers admitting he wasn\u2019t exactly chuffed by the sudden competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that it\u2019ll have any type of affect (sic) on him,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna drive him to be a better player or have him sunk in a hole. I think Aaron\u2019s a lot like me, I\u2019m a lot like him, however you wanna put it. Truly confident players who know what they\u2019re capable of, and know what they\u2019ve done, and that continue to work to be better than what they were.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, Aaron\u2019s gonna come in ballin\u2019 and do his thing and he\u2019s got the right mindset. \u2026 My perception of it is that he\u2019s just gonna be Aaron. I saw something, which means absolutely nothing, but I saw something that said that the last couple of times he was named outside of the top 10 of the top 100, that he won MVP. So we can\u2019t rule it out. It\u2019s happ<\/a>ened before twice. So, we\u2019ll see.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
