[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 871315, member: 12283"] Rodgers was also playing in a new offense for the first time since 2005. Rodgers' contract makes it basically impossible to move on for two more seasons. And even in season three, it would be pretty painful (17.2M in dead money). The benefit of a rookie QB is having a starter on a rookie contract. When your QB is good, but is making 6M/season because he's on a rookie deal, you have a massive competitive advantage over teams with 2nd/3rd contracts. To draft a QB high this year, when you can't benefit from having a QB on a rookie deal until 2023, would be the height of organizational incompetence. You would be wasting nearly all of the years of competitive advantage that the contract gives you. If Rodgers doesn't excel in year two in the offense, then maybe it's a different discussion. But for right now, the only type of QB they should be looking at is a mid to late rounder to compete with Boyle for the backup gig. [/QUOTE]
