Favre began his “retirement dance” in 2002, there was no reason to take it seriously. If Thompson considered Favre’s replacement as a critical need or an immediate need, IMO he would have been trying to trade up as Rodgers’ continued to fall. I don’t remember even a whisper of that. I’ll bet the Packers had Rodgers rated at or near the top of that draft so while Thompson was unwilling to move up for him, no matter what he viewed as immediate or critical needs, he had to take Rodgers because of the huge value he represented. IMO it's one of the best examples of Thompson's sticking to his draft philosophy in a disciplined way.</blockquote>
