Green Bay makes the biggest splash on the first day of the NFL Draft.
The Packers made the most controversial selection in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, trading away their fourth-round pick and their #30 overall selection in the first round to Miami to trade up to #26 to select quarterback Jordan Love of Utah State.
Love, a junior at Utah State, led the FBS in interceptions with 17 picks thrown in 2019, a step down from his big 2018 season when he ranked 8th in the FBS with 32 touchdown tosses.
Here's what NFL.com has to say:
Challenging evaluation for quarterback-needy teams balancing traits and potential against disappointing 2019 tape. Staff turnover and new starters across the offense are partly to blame for his regression, but self-made flaws in process were also concerns. Love's accuracy took a step back, and his delayed reaction from "see it" to "throw it" when making reads is troubling. He has the arm to stick throws into tight windows but needs better eye discipline and anticipation to keep windows open. His size, mobility and arm talent combined with his 2018 flashes could be a winning hand that leads a team into the future or a siren's song of erratic play and unfulfilled potential.
Green Bay has eight selections remaining in the NFL Draft this year, with no pick in the fourth round.
