As I sat watching that draft I got progressively more sick.  TWill was bad but Erasmus James was worse.  And mostly because I knew, KNEW like I could feel it in my bones, that Aaron Rodgers would end up in Green Bay.  

We should have drafted him to prevent that and help ourselves.  Rodgers falling was like when Moss fell, you need to take advantage of other team's mistakes.  Or we could have traded with someone to prevent it if we really didn't need a potential HOF QB because "Daunte".  But old Ricky was apparently clueless as usual.  Or maybe that was Fran Foley, can't recall.

Any time I say this people are like oh but we had Daunte.  Sorry but Daunte was not winning any titles ever imo.  If Green Bay could put Rodgers on the bench for three years to learn so could we.  Daunte ripped up his knee that season and we were back in QB hell while the Packers were on their way to continued dominance of the NFCN.  

I've watched this team do so much dumb stuff over the years it's a wonder they can compete at all.  The Wilfs have made a career out of looking up at the Packers most of the time.  These drafts since they hired KOC/KAM really take the cake.

I disagree...Pepp was runner-up MVP in 2004 to Manning. He threw for 4700 (!) passing yards and 39 (!) TD's...Arrow was way-up on the guy  and nobody knew Rogers was going to be HOF or Pepp would tear-up a knee and re-hab at Walmart. 

I chalk it up to bad luck, but dont fault the decision making at the time.
