Every NFL Team’s Best Draft Pick of All-Time

12. player. 49. <p>Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in the NFL and at 31 could just be hitting his peak years with the Packers, which is a frightening proposition for opposing defenses. Rodgers slid to the 24th pick in 2005 draft and even though Brett Favre was still there, the Packers saw the value in a player who was in contention with Alex Smith to be the No. 1 overall pick and couldn’t pass it up.</p> <p>He sat on the bench behind Favre for the first three years but the wait proved to be worth it after he’s won 70 of his 103 starts and led the Packers to the Super Bowl in 2010 when he was named the Super Bowl MVP. This matched him with Favre for rings and he is closing in on No. 4’s MVP honors, winning the MVP in 2011 and 2014 to get within one of his predecessor and former teammate.</p> <p>Rodgers is a two-time first-team All-Pro pick whose best football is still in front of him and he already holds the NFL record for quarterback rating with a 106 mark, adjusted net yards/pass attempt and interception percentage.</p> <p>He led the Packers to the postseason in six of his first seven seasons as a starter and considering the state of the division and the strength of the Packers will likely make it another six in the next seven seasons too and should be in contention for the MVP each year.</p> <p>The Packers have made a number of great draft picks but none better than Rodgers who is headed to the Hall of Fame five years after he retires.</p>.
