NFL Draft: Packers select a target for Jordan Love with pick from Aaron Rodgers trade

Among the picks the Green Bay Packers got for trading Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets was No. 42 overall in this year's draft.

And with that pick, the Packers drafted a target Rodgers probably would have liked.

The Packers, who famously never drafted a receiver in the first round over Rodgers' career, didn't draft a receiver but they did give Jordan Love a nice target. With the second-round pick from the Jets, the Packers took Oregon State tight end Luke Musgrave. It's the type of high pick to help the passing game that the Packers have rarely made the past few years, to the confusion of many.
