Aaron Rodgers' Draft Analysis

Until a couple of days ago, the two top candidates for number one in the draft were Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith. Smith got the call from San Francisco, but Rodgers dropped in the draft. Here is his analysis of the draft as it rolled past him (according to "The Loop"):

1. San Francisco, Alex Smith, QB, Utah.
I thought I was going No. 1 until a few days ago, when I heard the 49ers were going in a different direction. That's OK. Alex and I are both very talented, and I look forward to our first matchup.

2. Miami, Ronnie Brown, RB, Auburn.
I figured the Dolphins would pass on me, since their biggest need was for a dope-free running back. South Florida's humidity would have created hair issues for me anyway.

3. Cleveland, Braylon Edwards, WR, Michigan.
Edwards is the kind of playmaking receiver every team needs. If I had him to throw to at Cal, then Alex Smith would still be stuck here, enjoying the veggie tray in the green room.

9. Washington, Carlos Rogers, DB, Auburn.
Gee . . . apparently now I'm not even good enough for Daniel Snyder. How sad is that?

10. Detroit, Mike Williams, WR, USC.
The Lions like Jeff Garcia and Joey Harrington? To paraphrase Terrell Owens, if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, then you better draft Aaron Rodgers!

11. Dallas, DeMarcus Ware, DE, Troy.
By my count, my net worth has dropped about $20 million today. Not only that, but now Paris Hilton is refusing to take my calls.

The poor bastard dropped all the way down to Green Bay at the number 24 slot. Green Bay certainly got a great value for their pick, but you have to feel sorry for Rodgers.
