9. How mad is Aaron Rodgers today?
Quick, can you name the last offensive skill player the Green Bay Packers took in the first round? Aaron Rodgers. In 2005.

Thursday night he accomplished another feat, becoming the first collegiate coach to have a player selected in the first round at every offensive and defensive position. Forget “(Insert Position Here) U”, Alabama is the definition of a football factory, even some have had more first picks.
Enjoy the rest of the draft!
