1. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

Love is low-hanging fruit in this instance, but I don’t see a situation where he can’t appear at No. 1. The Packers traded up to select Love with the 26th pick in the draft, pegging him as their quarterback of the future.

The move didn’t exactly please incumbent quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers is 36 years old and coming off a season where he led Green Bay to a 13-3 record and the Conference Championship game. He is under contract for four more seasons with a potential out after 2021.

Besides entering a position where he’ll have to sit for at least two seasons before trying to replace a future Hall of Fame quarterback, Love is in an unenviable situation. He put up a lot of lousy tape at Utah State.

Unlike the situation in 2005, where Rodgers slid down draft boards before Green Bay grabbed him in the first-round, Love wasn’t a guaranteed first-day selection. Several analysts didn’t even believe he belonged in the first-round.

Love suffered from a poor supporting cast during his final year at Utah State, so many people write-off his 20 touchdowns, 17 interceptions, and 61.9 completion percentage as markers of bad circumstances. However, Love showed serious flaws at college.

The 21-year-old displayed inaccuracy on deep passes, poor decision making, unacceptable ball placement, and telegraphed throws. Maybe working with Rodgers and the Packers can morph Love into a starting-caliber quarterback, but he’s not a viable player right now.
