Aaron Rodgers Packing Up

Aaron Rodgers has been drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers (24th Overall Pick). Rodgers is the second QB picked in the draft, as Alex Smith of Utah was the #1 pick and went to the struggling 49ers. This begs the question: is Rodgers to be aging Brett Favre's replacement? Can he fill those shoes? The reality of the matter is that Rodgers is a perfect fit for the Green Bay passing system: he's strong in the pocket, has a great arm, and has pinpoint accuracy. With some improvement, Favre will have a strong replacement in a couple of years.

Look for J.J. Arrington to go in the third round of the draft to a team needing a LaDanian Tomlinson-esque back (Oakland, San Francisco, Arizona, Cincinnati).

Update: J.J. Arrington is picked up in the second round by the Arizona Cardinals. A great fit for him. We'll keep you updated as more Cal players get drafted.

Update: From Allen- WR Chase Lyman was selected in the 4th round by New Orleans along with S Matt Giordano who was drafted by Indianapolis. For more updates on which Cal players get drafted, check out ESPN.com's Drafttracker.Email This Post!
