There was no reason for the Minnesota Vikings to use a first-round pick on a quarterback in the 2005 NFL Draft.
Just about every year, around this time, there seems to be this idea floating around that the Minnesota Vikings could have used a first-round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft to select current Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and they just decided he wasn’t worth the pick.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. Sure, the Vikings were completely aware that Rodgers was one of the top passing prospects in the 2005 draft pool.
