They felt taking a QB in the 1st round was more important than giving their HoF QB another WR while their window was still open. Doesn’t make much sense to me. Imagine Rodgers throwing to Higgins or Claypool...It's kinda of hard to argue with what GB is doing right now. They went to the NFC championship last season and their one win away from controlling home field for the entire playoffs. Also Aaron is having another MVP season, they went and signed two defensive studs last off season, and drafted a premier CB in Alexander in 2018. So they clearly have invested in their defense.
Brady had Gronk and Moss in his best years. Yes they won Super Bowl’s without them, but having Bill Belichick certainly helps with that. And expecting any QB to do what Brady has done is some pretty immense expectations.
Brady doesn't beat Manning without the defenses he had in the 2000s. Also he hasn't won a superbowl without a top 10 scoring defense. So yeah did Brady have a elite players around him on offense but he also had is share of great defenses. Which we are know where close
Burrow has a pretty good supporting cast Jonah(LT), Tee(Wr), Boyd(slot), and Mixon(RB) who already are or probably will be top 10 players at their positions.
The defense has one guy under contract for 2021 in Bates that is top 10 at his position right now. So investing in defense over offense at this time is the smart thing to do. Now if they were to resign Jackson, Lawson, and add a guy like Leonard Williams at DT then let's talk offense weapons during the draft but right now the focus should be on defense or offensive line. Not skilled positions.
