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?

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
