Sorry if long!
So doing my research today... Looking through at who's going to be making our draft decisions and their philosophies.. looking at their picks and reasonings and prospect and just trying to find any little tidbit I can to try to get a better understanding.
First off, who we have in charge of our picks has to get you excited (John Dorsey, Eliot Wolf, Alonzo Highsmith, Scot McCloughan). The Ron wolf tree is absolutely Amazing all around....The former mentor and teacher of Ted Thompson, John Schneider, John Dorsey, Scot McCloughan, and Reggie McKenzie...who btw have pretty much changed the landscape of the NFL. You start to realize where the "football guys" term comes from. Ron single-handedly turned Green Bay into what they are now. Thompson ran the same system in Green Bay, and Schneider, Dorsey, McKenzie, and McCloughan have based their scouting approach on what Wolf created. It's what they know and all have been successful. All known for their scouting and being able to run a franchise. So to be honest. Whoever they do pick. I'm going to support it because they all have a VERY good track record.
Now onto how it might correlate with our Qb pick an something that is sticking out slightly is the similiarity between Aaron Rodgers... And get this.. Baker Mayfield. Not Rosen.
Some tidbits..
-Despite his record-setting statistics, Rodgers attracted little interest from Division I programs. He attributed the relative lack of attention in the recruiting process to his unimposing physical stature as a high school player at 5'10" (1.78 m) and 165 lb (75 kg). Rodgers had wanted to attend Florida State under head coach Bobby Bowden, but was rejected.He garnered only an offer to compete for a scholarship as a walk on from Illinois.
-As a Jr. College transfer to Cal, He was named the starting quarterback in the fifth game of the 2003 season. As a sophomore, he helped lead the Golden Bears to a 7–3 record as a starter.
-As a junior, Rodgers led Cal to a 10–1 record and top-five ranking at the end of the regular season.
-Rodgers holds the Cal career record for lowest percentage of passes intercepted at 1.95 percent. (Baker holds the record at OU at only 1.82% with twice as many attempts)
-Rodgers was expected to be selected early in the in the 2005 NFL Draft as he had posted impressive numbers as a junior with Cal, throwing for 2,320 yards with a 67.5 completion rating in the regular season.He threw for 24 touchdowns and only eight interceptions in his last college season, impressing many NFL scouts. They commented that he was a "talented strong-armed junior" who "combines arm strength, mechanics and delivery to make all the throws", but noted that his stats could be inflated due to playing in a quarterback-friendly system at Cal while going against PAC-10 defenses and that he would need to adjust to the more elaborate defensive schemes of the NFL. (Sound familiar?)
Aaron Rodgers at combine: 6'2 225lbs
Baker Mayfield at combine: 6'1 215lbs
