When the Packers took Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, it was instantly a bad pick. Most people seemed to know that at the time it happened.
The Packers should have been building around Aaron Rodgers, not taking a mistake-prone prospect from Utah State to sit for a while. They passed on some good receivers to take Love. They were apparently too caught up in their history, trying to replicate the success of the Rodgers pick when they took their next star QB late in the first round despite having Brett Favre.
The lone caveat to the shortsighted Love pick was that if the Packers found their next high-level quarterback, it would eventually be worth the trouble. Here's the problem: Love got his shot and he might be the worst starting quarterback in the NFL this season. He's certainly on a short list.
