Should the Chiefs have drafted Aaron Rodgers over Derrick Johnson?

Well, with the new rookie salary cap rules and slotting, I agree. There is much less of a risk to take a QB early. If it fails, it won't set the franchise back years like it used to.

But, a mere two years after Rodgers, Quinn dropped. He was also a 'possible' #1 pick. The reality is that under the old rules, it was most often better to draft a guy with a higher floor than a higher ceiling if you had any doubt at all.

I am very happy for the new rookie wage scale and slotting system, becuase I think it will make for better drafts overall.
