[QUOTE="ArizonaPackerFan, post: 6528, member: 53"] Mike Golic and John Clayton were saying there were no defensive players left available at 24 to help Favre and the Packers right away this year. If that's true and a defensive player would be sitting on the bench anyway because he wasn't good enough, they were saying it made sense to take the best player available who they thought was Rogers and get him ready to step in for Favre in the coming years. Clayton also said a couple of defensive guys the packers might have been interested in at 24 might still be available to them in the 2nd round. So maybe it worked out for the best. Nall isn't the answer in my opinion, and 6 of the 8 teams in the playoffs last year had QBs taken somewhere in the 1st 2 rounds, so at some point we needed to bite the bullet and groom a QB. So overall I think we were pretty fortunate to get what we did considering where we were drafting. Before the draft I wanted the packers to draft the best player available no matter the position, and I didn't want them to reach for a need. So I can't complain drafting Rogers. I would have loved a great defensive impact player, but I would have felt bad if we would have reached for an unworthy defensive player we needed like we did with Jamal Reynolds and Antwuan Edwards.
