Was Aaron Rodgers BPA in 2005?

Looking back with 20/20 hindsight it is obvious he was BPA of the whole entire draft... but at the time of the draft was he BPA at the number 1 spot? And was he BPA when we picked?

They always say they look for BPA when drafting, but I strickly remember us having solid linebackers although not great, a very old QB albeit coming off a steller year (Jake had a 87.3 QB rating) so its hard to justify getting a QB in the first but when you say BPA, was Aaron Rodgers graded very high over Thomas Davis in that draft as of draft time?

I don't fault too much on Marty Hurney in the pick, Thomas Davis is great in his own right, but when they say they pick BPA and had a player with much more value than TD in 2005 maybe its a key to how we actually do pick players and can pretty much guarantee that we pick Fairley.

Jake was only 30 years old at the time and had 29 TDs the previous year without Steve Smith. 23 other GMs passed on Rodgers and several of those teams needed quarterbacks.

Brett Favre had about a 92 QB rating in 2004, he just played an awful playoff game but at that point he had shown no signs of slowing down, besides his usual flirtation with retirement

i don't know if we even re-sign Davis. He's missed a season and a half of action, we're working on a huge extension for Beason, why would we want to give 7 figures to Davis?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
