Packers' Interest in Draft Prospect QB Jordan Love Should End as Soon as Possible

The quarterback class of this year's NFL Draft is headlined by sure-fire future franchise players in Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa. However, a name that has risen up draft boards is Utah State's Jordan Love. Many have said he has similar skills as Patrick Mahomes, but his main criticism has been his decision-making.

Even so, many teams are enamored at the potential of Love and have had virtual meetings with the Aggies signal caller this week. One of said organizations who spoke with Love are the Green Bay Packers, and we must suggest that they stop this pursuit right now.

This appears to be more of the Packers doing due diligence on young quarterbacks, as Aaron Rogers is inching ever-so closer to retirement. Even so, this isn't really the year for Green Bay to use their 30th overall pick on a quarterback like Love.

As mentioned earlier, Love possess the same gunslinger abilities as Mahomes, but wasn't able to put it all together in his last season at Utah State. Yes, he didn't have adequate weapons at his disposal, but he often tried too hard to make a play, at the risk of an overthrow or interception. Not to mention, he had difficulty progressing through his reads and faltered once facing pressure in the pocket.

Love is the epitome of a boom-or-bust prospect. If he figures everything out, he can be Patrick Mahomes-like. But if he doesn't, his floor gives him a pro comparison to Blake Bortles, which obviously isn't great.

The Packers don't have an immediate need for a quarterback of the future. Even though Rodgers is 36 years old, he's still playing at a high-enough level to keep their championship window open. Green Bay GM Brian Gutekunst should be focusing on using their first-round pick on a wide receiver to truly put their offense over the edge, not a quarterback.

Love is going to find a home in the NFL on the first night of the NFL Draft, but it shouldn't be in Green Bay.
