There are surprises. And then there are shockers.
The Green Bay Packers traded up to the 26th pick on Thursday night, choosing Utah State quarterback Jordan Love with their first-round pick. Love was mocked anywhere from the top five to the second round by draft pundits, and the Green Bay Packers were rumored to be interested. But that the Packers selected Love with current quarterback Aaron Rodgers under contract through the 2023 season was certainly unexpected.
Love had an exceptional 2018 season for the Aggies, passing for over 3,500 yards and 32 touchdowns to just six interceptions en route to a 64% completion percentage.
