Matt LaFleur on the draft: "It was just one of those situations where there were a couple guys targeted that had just previously been picked and Jordan was the next guy on the board, and so we went with the best player at the time."

“It was just one of those situations where there were a couple guys targeted that had just previously been picked and Jordan was the next guy on the board, and so we went with the best player at the time,” LaFleur said on ESPN Radio in Wisconsin.
LaFleur is standing by the move though, while proclaiming his and the organization’s relationship with Rodgers is far from fractured.
“We talk four times a week whenever we get those opportunities to meet in those individual meetings,” LaFleur said. “And I feel really good about where we’re at. We both understand that this is a business.”
While Rodgers himself is publicly toeing that line as well, those behind the scenes, particularly Favre, rabidly dispute that notion.
Why not go get the best WR available at that point.
