Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Drew Lock and why are the Packers interested in him?
Drew Lock is a talented, strong-armed quarterback from the University of Missouri who has garnered comparisons to Matthew Stafford and Jay Cutler. The Packers are hosting him for a pre-draft visit and he's projected as a top-15 guarantee in the 2019 NFL Draft.
What pick do the Packers have in the 2019 NFL Draft?
The Packers hold the #12 overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. If Lock is still available at that spot and they want him, they would have to use that pick to draft him.
How much money did Aaron Rodgers recently sign for with the Packers?
Rodgers signed a 4-year, $134 million extension just one season ago. This makes drafting a quarterback in the first round a major investment while having an expensive veteran already under contract.
What was revealed in Tyler Dunne's article about the Packers dysfunction?
Dunne's Bleacher Report article highlighted dysfunction between Aaron Rodgers and former head coach Mike McCarthy, including Rodgers rolling his eyes at play calls and McCarthy reportedly skipping team meetings to receive massages in his office.
Why would drafting Drew Lock create problems for Aaron Rodgers?
This move would signify the Packers aren't satisfied with Rodgers' leadership and are drafting his heir apparent instead of surrounding him with talent. Rodgers' well-documented ego wouldn't be open to a mentorship role, potentially creating a ticking time bomb in the organization.
