The top organizations always draft QB's. What if GB decided to pass on AR when they had Farve? They definitely wouldn't have someone playing that's better than he is.

Difference is when they took Rodgers Favre was already talking about retirement so they had to act... this makes no sense

Maybe that's just who they had as the best available at the time...dont we always talk about how good teams draft bpa, and bad teams draft for need?
Just spitballin here.
Oe possibly theres other issues with ar that only people behind the scenes know. Iono

There are always exceptions though. I mean im sure there was a qb available for the pats who was bpa over the last 20 years but....
Always has to be a mix of bpa and need. Sometimes that line is easy to see like in this case.

On a side-note I think Goodell should have cued up some boo’s when he came out to announce the picks. That would have been hysterical.

I think it was a bad choice. I would put bets on ARod being disgruntled before and even more now. That said, maybe they feel they have him as back up, and if a team needs a qb they trade Love, a la the Patriots.
