Should the Chiefs have drafted Aaron Rodgers over Derrick Johnson?
 

Would we have been in a better position now???

Rodgers would have gotten to learn from Trent Green a few years....

Hmmmm....thoughts to ponder.

Not really because at the time we were a decent team and were looking for a few players to make us a good team, and we obviously needed help on D. Could go either way really.

Possibly, not looking to the future with the draft hurt our team, we wanted instant gratification and thought we had to take D players...

Of course Vermiel probably would have pissed his depends if he had he was old and had 0 thought about the future of the team.

Johnson had better value when we were drafting. He still does. Rodgers hasn't proved he can play.

The 2005 Draft was a flop for just about everybody except a handful of teams.

****, I'm surprised Grandpa didn't trade our first rounder in '05 for an assistant coach. Vermeil can taste my ass, and Carl can have a double taste for his helping hand.

No. We needed defense at the time. DJ was the pick. I would have imploded had they picked Rogers...

How could you pass up a Butkus Award winner when he falls in your lap.
I can see in a a couple of years we'll probably be having this discussion about Dorsey. :rolleyes:

But, but, doesn't this board go ape shit if someone suggests drafting other than BPA?

NO. DJ is primed to come into his own this year. I have no problems with him being the pick.

And there is no way Vermeil would have risked getting on Green's bad side by taking a QB in the first.

You have bad drafts placing need above all...

ROFL

He and his son would have made amends during the holiday season.

Johnson was the BPA.

Wasn't Rogers being considered as the #1 overall pick?

Unless you think that Linebacker is the next Derrick Thomas, there is no way you can value an outside Linebacker over a potential franchise QB.
