Shocker! No one wants to take a clown from Berkley team that had the greatest collapse in college football history!

6 players drafted indeed.

5 of them are offensive players and 1 defensive. Talent was clearly more on the offensive side.

Also see my comment about the importance of QB and having a capable backup filling in.

Except, of course, we chose not to use our capable backup and just keep playing the injured starter and let our season to go down the toilet.

I shouldn’t complain really. I love Tedford to death and I like Nate alot too. But Tedford’s decision to stick with Nate when he was limping off the field in the second half of games was baffling. I mean why would he spend so much time and effort recruiting all these blue chip quarterbacks just to sit them on the bench when the perfect situation arises for him to use them?

Mike, you’re right. And to put it into more perspective, we were ranked 4th highest in the NCAA in players drafted to the NFL (this year). And I believe it was a school record. “Underachived” is an understatement…

6 players drafted and last year’s team barely went .500? The ultimate proof of how much we underachieved last year…awful

DanP, totally agree. I’m probably responding more to the caliber of QB picked rather than just any QB picked in the late 2nd round because I just think that Brohme was the best QB in the draft. Rodgers has the skills, I hope he gets a reasonable opportunity to show them.

Rodgers has been hurt before despite not playing much. This is more likely a move to increase the depth of the QB position rather then a vote of no confidence in Rodgers.

The QB is an important position. Your entire season can go down the toiler if your QB gets hurt and you have nobody capable to fill in.

besides DeSean dropping to low 2nd, the most surprising pick (for a Cal fan) was the Packers picking Brian Brohme. Aaron Rodgers just got a little heat put on him.

Only one punter was drafted this year, which seems low in comparison to other years. The post-college career for most punters seems to be a life of tryouts with many teams, hoping to sign one-year contracts. I hope things work out for Andrew Larson, I liked what he did for Cal the last couple years.
