It all really depends how the draft falls. If you have valid short to long term concerns at QB and there’s a real talent available to take it almost always makes sense to roll the dice, simply because QB is so damned important in this league. I’d have no qualms with the Packers taking a QB in the first or second if there’s a guy there, even if they broadly want to keep with Love and hope he succeeds. Remember packers also took Brohm in the 2nd first year Rodgers was the starter.
Now if there isn’t a guy there, and whoever is available the packers have a worse grade or don’t see upside beyond Loves, well then probably doesn’t make sense and they probably won’t take him. But that doesn’t mean it’s a philosophical departure of the original point of taking good QB prospects when they are available.
