RVJ Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 If Cal QB Aaron Rodgers is the first pick in the draft, the 49ers would have made a major reach. I like Aaron. I felt he was a very underrated last year, but he is the winner of the “I was underrated award, but now my skill set is overemphasized.” In my opinion, no QB in this class would rank higher than the top 3 last year (Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, and Ben Roethlisberger), however, I am not sold that Rodgers is a better prospect than J.P. Losman. In many ways, I am not sure he is a top 15 pick. He is a well coached QB with terrific footwork and a good release. His mechanics are pretty consistent as well, but the guy is not a premier talent. His decision making in the short area is still questionable as is his overall arm. He is going to benefit from USC’s Matt Leinart and Bowling Green’s Omar Jacobs staying in school. http://story.scout.com/a.z?s=118&p=2&c=358430
R. Rich Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 From what I saw last year, Rodgers was a better pro prospect than any of the other top QBs, including Leinart. That's not to say he had a better season than Leinart, I just think he'll end up being a better pro.
