GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If Aaron Rodgers is as dug in as it sounds and dead set on never playing for the Green Bay Packers again, then nothing the team could have done in this past weekend’s NFL draft would change that.
But if Rodgers were willing to consider it, the draft at least took a step toward giving Rodgers another Super Bowl shot with this team -- if he is willing to take it.
A team that already brought back its core from the group that had back-to-back 13-3 seasons, both of which ended in the NFC Championship Game, made some additions in the draft that could provide an immediate impact. To be sure, a draft is designed to pay dividends over several years and not necessarily help right away -- especially when it begins with the 29th overall pick -- but consider the ways it could help immediately in Green Bay.
