I ****ing love DJ but I would draft Aaron Rodgers a million times over.
That's not a knock on DJ, a stud QB is that important. |

At the time of the draft, DJ was the absolute right pick

I don't think you'll ever see a potential 1st overall pick at QB fall that far again. Teams realize how important a franchise QB is. Look at the last few drafts, more and more QB's are going early. Until we get a franchise QB of our own, this thread will probably continue to get bumped here and there. |

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.

that first round sucked. DJ may be the 2nd best player drafted. Either him or Demarcus Ware.

Oh and I haven't posted in this massive thread yet, but I'd take Aaron Rodgers every time if we could go back and do that draft again. He's the best QB in the NFL. |

Ouch, it wasnt just the Chiefs that blew this pick......The VIkings way blew it.
![]() Every team that passed on Rodgers in the draft -- Miami, for Ronnie Brown, Minnesota (Troy Williamson), Washington (Carlos Rogers), Minnesota again (Erasmus James), Jacksonville (Matt Jones), and, just one pick before Green Bay, Oakland (Fabian Washington) -- has to be retching right now. Projecting Rodgers' full season, with an asterisk next to what would be league records: .725* completion percentage, 5,238* passing yards, 48 touchdowns, 6 interceptions; 129.1* passer rating. Minnesota twice? Fabian Washington? That has to hurt. Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...#ixzz1d2GOUNMw |

I think at the time, DJ was the right pick. Based on what he was projected to be and our needs, you can't say drafting him was flawed logic.
Since then the NFL has changed and it's really only about the QB now. (which I think makes the game more boring but what can you do) So yeah in hindsight or going forward, I'll always lean towards take a shot on a QB. Yeah, now I wish they would have taken Rogers obviously. |
