What's aaron rodgers trade value? (1 Viewer)

pick wise, i cant imagine him fetching higher than a 2nd. thats where he would go in this draft class, if not in the 3rd.

funny I was just googling this and jsonline in December said he'd be worth a 2nd...actually MAYBE a 2nd

Could the Packers possibly obtain a second-round pick in a trade for Rodgers?

"Maybe," another NFC personnel director said. "But he was dropping last year. He didn't look very good in the pre-season. Then you've got the (Jeff) Tedford factor. That's tough. Here you are, you might have a guy you like better, but yet you took the guy before. What's that say? You almost made your bed."

Said an AFC scout: "If they take Leinart, they're admitting a mistake. If they take a second-round for Rodgers, then maybe they could weasel out of it because it was kind of a late first-round pick. It'd be hard to pass on a guy like Matt Leinart. You're digging yourself a deep hole if you pass on him and you stay with Aaron and Aaron doesn't turn out. They'd be in a tough predicament."

Why is this? He was rated by some to be the number 1 overall last season. Many, including Kiper though he'd be the first player off the board. He never got a chance to play. He never got hurt. I don't understand. Is this class 32 players better than last year?

yes it is.He flat out stunk in preseason scored 1 out of 20 drives with a 50(?) passer rating.

He didn't just stink in preseason. According to team insiders, the Packers were not pleased with much of Rodgers development last year including games, practice, training camps and picking up the offense. I think there is a reason they didn't send him to NFL Europe this year.

bulk of the article

If Williams does what he's supposed to do in the off-season, he would fit an enormous need in Green Bay. Still, the chance to draft a quarterback of Leinart's or Young's accomplishments, or trade the pick, might be even more attractive to the Packers even though they used the 24th pick of the first round last year on quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

All four scouts who were asked for their opinion said Leinart was a better prospect than Rodgers. Thompson, the man who will make the call, made it clear that taking another quarterback in the first round wasn't beyond the realm of possibility.

"I wouldn't rule it out," Thompson said last week. "But we're OK at that position. In that position, you have to get in among the lions and tigers and bears to kind of figure that out. We haven't seen all that yet. We saw a little bit in pre-season. He (Rodgers) didn't do all that good, but that's not unusual for a rookie quarterback. He seems to be growing in his craft."

Rodgers directed the Packers to just one score in the 20 full series that he quarterbacked this summer. His passer rating was 53.0, and some football people questioned his potential ever to be more than average at best.

Two years ago, the San Diego Chargers took Eli Manning with the No. 1 pick even though they had Drew Brees. Within an hour, they traded Manning to the New York Giants for Philip Rivers, their top-rated quarterback. This is Rivers' second season as the backup.

"Leinart is a lot better than Aaron Rodgers, and I think you can win a lot of games with Rodgers," an NFC personnel director said. "He can get the ball up the field, where Rodgers has his problems getting the ball up the field. But I'd take Young over Leinart. A lot of people would not do that because they haven't seen him in drop-back situations. But I know one thing. There's nobody with a better arm."

He may have been rated #1 by some, but nobody ponied up until pick #24, so it's kinda a moot point where people "said" they ranked him.

Yeah I think I posted an article where they said NFLEurope "maybe next year" here but like 2-3 days later Thompson was attempting to cover his tracks.A guy I trust and have known on the web for years, says he's being shopped. I'm just curious what his value might be
