[QUOTE="TJV, post: 557030, member: 4300"] I don't know how anyone can argue Rodgers wasn't the best player available at #24 in that draft. It's one thing to argue to what degree QB was a need pick but this statement doesn't make any sense to me. As a matter of fact, here's a poster you no doubt respect that says, Unless you disagree with this poster, how can picking the "consensus #1/#2 pick at #24, not be taking the best player available, irrespective of your hiney? ;) As I've posted I think the Rodgers pick was the best examples of Thompson staying true to his board. I don't Thompson or any other GM strictly picks BPA, but this was an instance where the best value available obviously matched the best player available. IMO what Brandt says, having been in the war room at the time, is solid evidence. And what Thompson didn't do in the war room also serves as evidence. If there was great concern about finding Favre's successor, IMO Thompson would have been inquiring about trading up to grab Rodgers, a player you have rated as the consensus #1/#2 at the most important position and who, in your opinion, represented a significant need.
