Here's a nice little historical tidbit regarding the Packers' new first-round pick, Aaron Rodgers:

At one point, Rodgers figured to make the earliest exit. But when the 49ers shifted their focus to Smith, Rodgers began a free fall the likes of which hadn't been seen for a highly rated quarterback since 1983, when a future Pro Football Hall-of-Famer named Dan Marino plummeted all the way to the 27th spot.

Of course, Marino walked into a starting job. If my druthers are destined to be my druthers, Rodgers won't get the same shot for at least three years.

Rats! Marino never won a Super Bowl.
