Niether were prospects people were raving about other then normally pre draft hype where there's 32 all pros drafted in round one. Its also why it became clear a free fall was in store for Rodgers on draft day once Miami passed on him.Now obviously Rodgers exceeded any and all expectations but people seem to think "being talked about going #1" some how means "well he must of been considered one of the best prospects going into that draft if he was talked about that high"</blockquote>
