So, Jennings becomes the first of the team's 11 draft picks in 2019 to move on. The other 10 remain on the roster, with nine on the current 53-man and Demarcus Christmas remaining for the moment on PUP.

If either of these last two first round picks were LTs, would you be backing the back in the same manor since they can't beat out Duane Brown? The selection was a bad one, and the proof is in the fact that neither take the field enough to have an impact on an actual game.
Yes. Just because neither isn't starting makes them bad picks. That's not how it works. Was Aaron Rodgers a bad pick? He sat behind a veteran for years.

Rodgers was drafted for that very reason. If Pete Carroll comes out and say he drafted Penny to be a third stringer in year one and play a handful of snaps in year two and he drafted Collier to be basically a healthy scratch in year one? Then I will say he is either an idiot or a liar!

Sorry that's a total apples to orangutans comparison.

How so? Some of your criteria for a 1st round pick is to contribute right away. There is not a GM in football that thinks like that. Especially players taken in the back end of the 1st. Organizations are expecting that player to be on their team for 10 years plus. Just because they don't have immediate impact to satisfy the fans bloodlust doesn't mean it is a bust. Both Collier and Penny have lots of time .

That's bullshit. Packers drafted Aaron Rodgers to be their starting QB . He just had a HOF i front of him. It took him time.

They drafted Penny because they wanted depth at running back, it was never a given he would start immediately, they wanted competition at the position and got it. Could they have waited and drafted another RB, sure. They said they wanted Penny for his versatility, he was who they wanted.

So, there intention was for his to start year one? Not one person who has watched five minutes of football expected Rodgers to start year one, and the organization and coaches certainly didn't. He was drafted as the QB of the future, was a once in a generation guy. Mahomes wasn't drafted to start either. Both of those moves were correct. If you want to compare Penny to Rodgers and Mahomes then we need to end this discussion now...because that is ridiculous. Comparing either of our last two first round draft picks to Aaron freaking Rodgers is ridiculous. If that is what you now are grasping for to make your point I think you may want to redirect.

This team was not drafting either of these guys to sit two years. They just aren't good enough to play...which to me, on a team with as many holes on defense as ours, is a bad thing.
