Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 659108">I would really appreciate if fans would stop bringing up the BPA BS whenever talking about the draft. Having only one player in the top tier left at the time a team is on the clock doesn´t happen a lot of times, Rodgers being one of the rare exemptions. Position of need is a huge factor in deciding between players within the same tier.Please take a minute and read Andrew Brandt´s story about drafting Rodgers in 2005 and maybe you will finally understand teams have players rated in tiers and not from 1-500. BTW he was the Packers vice president at the time, so he was within the draft room. Here´s the most important part from it:In 2005, we had approximately 20 players rated above the first-round line. When we arrived at our pick, at No. 24, the only name left above that line was Rodgers, who played the same position as one of the most durable players in NFL history: Brett Favre.<a href="http://mmqb.si.com/2014/05/07/nfl-draft-war-rooms" target="_blank">http://mmqb.si.com/2014/05/07/nfl-draft-war-rooms</a>Trust me, I´m more than capable of ordering the priorities in my life in a proper way without anybody on an internet forum having to tell me. As we´re posting on a team´s forum here the Packers fan in me would be devastated though.</blockquote>
