[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 871370, member: 12283"] I don't believe that the scenario of a guy who is truly a "really good QB," i.e. too good to pass on, being there at #30 overall is realistic. Rodgers, a guy who could have gone #1, falling just to #23 was a highly unlikely, unusual situation in itself. For that to happen again, only falling even further is almost certainly not going to happen. And I am not saying you wait for one to magically appear the moment you really need him. I am saying that you at least wait to start taking shots until Rodgers is close enough to the end of his deal (e.g. next offseason) that you actually give yourself an opportunity to get some value out of the rookie contract. And I do stand by the statement that it would be incompetent. Aside from Brady and the Pats, most recent SB champs have been teams with strong rosters built around quarterbacks on rookie contracts. When you have a starting QB making less than 10M, the competitive advantage is huge. If the Packers drafted a QB this year, they would literally waste three years of that opportunity. I'm fine with taking a QB before Rodgers is done. Having a guy sit one year could be ideal. Having him sit two would be ok. Having him sit for three years (or playing his 3rd year but not seeing the cap help from that because of Rodgers' dead money) would be a stupid idea, imo. [/QUOTE]
