I think that has to do with Rodgers falling so far in the Draft. It would be very similiar to what would happen if say a guy like AJ Hawk would fall to us this year. We have good, strong LBs...but when a prospect like that falls into your laps its going to be hard to pass him up.
Rodgers was supposed to go #1 overall but fell all the way to the Pack...I dont blame them at all for taking him, it was the right move to snag him and, at the very least, provide another option as Favre's replacement.
