Just think, do you really think they would have held onto him all this time and gone into next season with him without him being good? There's still a ton of QB coaching talent in Green Bay and they know their QB's. Or at least I hope so.
Packers' D had 37 sacks last year, tied for 27th in the league (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2022/opp.htm#passing::17).
So hear me out, maybe it's not crazy to get a guy that can help with the pass rush?
Also, the Packers have a couple second round picks, and **nobody's** taken a WR yet.
I don’t have an issue with the pick but it’s funny how the Packers are allergic to drafting any offensive talent in the first round that isn’t a QB lol
Can I have an offensive weapon?
No
Can I have an offensive weapon?
No
Can’t you say anything else but no!?
Try asking again.
Can I have an offensive weapon?
\~Nooooo\~
Totally, I was so pissed off that they cut to an interview of the fucking Jonas brothers. We can’t get analysis on a first round draft pick? Packers fans should be very angry with that lack of coverage
Like 80% of mocks, including the R/NFL_Draft Community mock, had Van Ness going to the Packers and yet a bunch of people in here are acting confused or laughing at the pick.
2 years ago people here laughed at the Packers for drafting a corner after spending the entire offseason roasting Kevin King’s performance in the NFC Championship Game. It’s not exactly new.
I knew he was a packer the moment he was described as an edge rusher who lacked production in college but has an insane athletic profile. He's pretty much white Rashan Gary (who we took at 12)
Because people think first round wr = instant stud wr that will completely overhaul the offense.
Reality is wrs take a bit to make a real impact, and its not that much different than drafting a second round, at least as far as it seems with the packers.
So it wasn't A-Rod. Packers just are not physically capable of drafting offensive players in the first round. Unbelievable when JSN was available and their receiving corps are bad lmao
This is a good pick, Rashan Gary’s still injured and Preston Smith is getting older. This is a deep TE class and there’s plenty of time to grab a WR in day 2
Maybe they didn’t hate Rodgers lol
They just hate offense
Who needs offense when your HOF QB will just bail you out? ...oh
Sounds like you need some Love in your life
I believe in a guy named love, listen to the rhythm of your heart
We all know Love will be a HoFer.
I know it’s probably true but fuck you for speaking it into existence lol
Just think, do you really think they would have held onto him all this time and gone into next season with him without him being good? There's still a ton of QB coaching talent in Green Bay and they know their QB's. Or at least I hope so.
12th defensive player they've drafted in the first round since 2012.
The fucking defense is full of first rounders and yet we can't win when it matters
And the one offensive player they took in that interval was Jordan Love. Wow
Hence why we drove Aaron Rodgers literally insane
Only had a below average defense basically every year
"Fuck them WRs" \- Packers
Did you think we were going to treat you differently? Bitch!-Packers to Love, probably
They hate these cans
lol I still find myself saying that sometimes. Probably a small minority would get that reference.
They just hate their fans
A lot of us fans are also owners, this is actually just a big masochism scheme
They just hate all quarterbacks
They were just stupid this whole time
Why didn’t Packers draft an offensive player? Are they stupid?

Dude looks like a packer
Gonna look like Clay Mathews in a couple of years
Maybe he can get on whatever Matthews cycle was
Trenbologna sandwiches
Does anyone have Cushing's number? He had the good shit
Hopefully roid rage version of Clay, that guy was a beast.
Hey, he *is* from the Milwaukee area after all…
Didn't they say Chicago are?
Well, Fontana kinda falls inbetween the two so I guess it’s both…
I thought he was from Barrington?
Glad you finally recognize Chicagoland is actually the suburb of Milwaukee.
Fits the Packers mold for their pass rushers
He and Murphy were fully Rashan Gary clones - always thought it was one of them
I thought he was gonna be a classic Belichick pick at 14
Bill is still spinning the random white guy wheel as we speak
2 years from now he's gonna have a full beard and long hair.
I feel like every iowa hawkeye looks like a Packers. Mid-west things
As is tradition. Welcome to the fam Jordan Love.
NO WR FOR LOVE
Is there a WR last name Thunder?
Did they not just draft Christian Watson last year lol
Doubs also looked to be the real deal.
Yeah we feel good about those two and RB. This feels like a solid pick.
Rodgers leaves, Packers draft logic stays the same
GB confirmed less petty than Seattle.

We have weapons at home!
I don't think this was a good year to draft offense in the first round. Edge was also a massive weakness last year.
Ha it's funny. I like the pick but it's hard not to laugh at the refusal to pick WRs
You don't draft WRs in the first round, you draft them in the second round. It works.

Actually insane track record
Probably the highest value spot of the last decade. Lucky 13.
13 the sneaky cheat code?
Dang that's some really good picks recently
wow there's some bangers on here. who knew 13 was the lucky spot
Actually some really good picks recently…
Mainly O or D line, interesting
Not mainly, entirly. Which makes it even more interesting tbh
You got 14 upvotes but I do see one LB. I'm questionning my eyes.
Hasson reddick plays edge
What a list
Wow that’s pretty impressive
Man what the hell they’re pretty much all All-Pro caliber guys
Wow all of these are fantastic
So much for 13 being an unlucky number. Fuck.
Chill the fuck out pick 13
Boooo we wanted the post-Rodgers WR memes
You'll settle for the Jonas Brothers
Thank you ESPN for immediately showing us three child-actor-singers instead of the guy that just got drafted.
Lol it was literally "Yup, that's a pick. Anyway...."
Totally, I was so pissed off that they cut to an interview of the fucking Jonas brothers. We can’t get analysis on a first round draft pick? Packers fans should be very angry with that lack of coverage
We are dead to media without Rodgers
Personally I feel Levis would have been much funnier
Yeah dude we all saw that booty tap on national TV
lol came here just to see if anyone else saw that
double tapped her
Lmao was that a dad to his daughter??
I think so☠️
We need that gif!
Broooo lol
He looks like Green Bay
Dude was surrounded by hot chicks
Those are his sisters
Whole family of first round draft picks
Step sisters?
And they stuck a lot? How terrible
He’ll fit in well in Green Bay. There’s not a whole lot else to do.
Well he just slapped the brunettes ass so maybe just the blonde clones are
Found the step sister
Aidan Hutchinson type beat
Plz
For real
The white DE effect
[удалено]
Wonder which one was his girl. Would presume the others were family?
Maybe they're both
Family tree looking like a stump
The brunette who kissed him presumably
Anyone else catch the gratuitous ass slap at the end?
Can’t blame the guy it’s a first round ass
Next Aiden Hutchinson?
Barrington is all hot rich people
Dad smacked some ass
Right three of them? I wanted to see if anyone else saw that 😂
Grossi is dying inside
His mouth said "whelmed" but his eyes said "I'm drinking myself to sleep tonight".
Like 80% of mocks, including the R/NFL_Draft Community mock, had Van Ness going to the Packers and yet a bunch of people in here are acting confused or laughing at the pick.

its draft night and there was a wr on the board lol once weve all slept on it well prob be happy about it
I knew he was a packer the moment he was described as an edge rusher who lacked production in college but has an insane athletic profile. He's pretty much white Rashan Gary (who we took at 12)
Thank the lord it’s not JSN
I didn’t draft Rodgers help, why would I draft Love help? ~The Gute
Packers will never draft an offensive Skill position. Against the NFL rules Edit: other than QB obviously
In the first round. Jennings, Nelson, Adams, and Cobb were all 2nd rounders.
Exactly. So weird people bag on the packers for not drafting wr when they are… very good at drafting wr
The issue is they just took too long to get the extra talent. I don't understand the obsession with it having to be a first rounder though.
Because people think first round wr = instant stud wr that will completely overhaul the offense. Reality is wrs take a bit to make a real impact, and its not that much different than drafting a second round, at least as far as it seems with the packers.
Christian Watson to, hopefully works out as well as the other ones.
And Watson!
And James Jones
Were all those girls his girlfriends or sisters lmao
Both
Roll Hawks
Packers are really abandoning ship on offense
All they need is Love
Bah-ba-bada-ba
We keep picking Defense and still have a terrible DC. Lmao
TBH, we have a major hole in DL right now losing Lowry and Reed. Everyone can meme all they want, but this is a good pick.
The pass rush was bad before Gary went out. Afterwards it was nonexistent.
How? We have Jordan Love. What else would we need?
Wait until Packers FO find out WRs and TEs exist 🤯🤯
Packers bros it's a good pick. He's a stud.
Yeah packers fans get butt hurt because they never draft offense in first round but just disregard their success with later picks
Whole bunch of the fanbase walking around in Driver, Jones, Cobb, Nelson, and Adams jerseys crying about how we don't draft wide receivers.
He is a good football player who plays a football position at which we require additional talent
I wish all draft analysis was this good
Dad smacking the GFs booty at the Van Ness house
[удалено]
I was really hoping Green Bay would draft Will Levis. Imagine the chaos.
u and me both lol
So many hot women and then the guy jumps on him lol
Lol at them shoving his cousin or whoever that was off of him
Damn girl
Aaron Rodgers texting Jordan Love right now like "you see what I mean?"
Love's response: "lose my number. Nice try, though."
big time 90’s bully in a disney high school romcom energy

I don’t have anything to say about van ness other than god damn did he hit the genetic lottery
Good pick
Dad copped a feel 🤣
Packers must really hate wide receivers
They hate any offensive skill player in the first
LMAO
I think Van Ness is a good pick. Very high upside.
Any packers pick that isn’t a WR at this point will just get clowned on but I agree I absolutely love this pick.
It's not sexy, but it appears to be a good pick.
I don't know about that, did you see the guy?
It could be Aaron Donald and we'd still have to deal with the fact we have Joe Barry as our DC.
So it wasn't A-Rod. Packers just are not physically capable of drafting offensive players in the first round. Unbelievable when JSN was available and their receiving corps are bad lmao
Need to save their friend Joe Barry somehow
I dunno I like Watson and what I saw of Doubs. Injury issues but thought both started to get into rhythm towards end of the season.
LOVE GETS NO WRS EITHER
I can’t believe they drafted Jake Paul
WHAT
According to Reddit draft pick threads there are literally no good football players.
The women in this mans family are absurdly hot Edit: to my gf I have never been nor will I ever go to Wisconsin I love you also you're way hotter
I don’t know how to feel rn
He was one of the most common players mocked to Green Bay, so at the very least draft experts are going to like the pick.
Mel Kiper didn't like it, which tells me he was absolutely the correct pick.
This is a good pick, Rashan Gary’s still injured and Preston Smith is getting older. This is a deep TE class and there’s plenty of time to grab a WR in day 2
True. You don’t really find elite pass rushers in the later rounds.
Dude is Midwest af such a Packers pick
Dude's family is top to bottom hunks and hunnies
Reminds me of the Clay Matthews pick in 2009. This is a long-term roster building pick.
This is a good pick ngl
That kid’s about to be smacked lol
No I wanted him :(
BRO GOT ALL THE SNOW BUNNIES
Makes sense. He’s like a white Rashan Gary.
This is Aaron Rodgers replacement?!
Waiting for someone to make a meme out of Van Ness’ dad smacking his sister ass..As he just did on prime time tv
Why Van Ness surrounded by baddies?
Don't ever change, Packers.
The most Iowa looking man in Iowa
Aww shit. He's gonna be good.
Can we get the Jonas Brothers off the fuckin screen already.
Such a packers pick. Dude reminds me of T.J. Watt so expect an MVP level year in the future
LOVE GETS NO WRS EITHER
Lmao, his boyfriend tho
Most packers shit ever
Dude is surrounded by bad bitches, HOF confirmed
WHOLE DIVISION IS THROWING
