Packers' Matt LaFleur Says Jordan Love Was Best Player Left When GB Drafted QB

The Green Bay Packers have staunchly defended their decision to trade up in the 2020 NFL draft to select quarterback Jordan Love despite having needs at other positions on the roster.

On Thursday, head coach Matt LaFleur continued that defense.

"It was just one of those situations where there were a couple guys targeted that had just previously been picked and Jordan was the next guy on the board, and so we went with the best player at the time," he said, per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk.
