Scot Mcloughlan: “My first year I took Alex number one overall, and of course everyone says I should have taken Aaron Rodgers. I understand that and whatever, but I totally disagree… I asked him one question and I’ll never forget this. I asked him ‘What will make me draft you?’ He said ‘Scot, I don’t know, but today is what you’ll see in 10 years from now.’ I was like ‘WOW’… I’m not going to get into it, but I asked Aaron Rodgers the same question and it was a totally different answer. I made the right pick in my opinion. Aaron is a phenomenal player, first-ballot Hall of Famer, MVP probably this year – that’s great, but for the situation I was in at the time Alex Smith was the perfect choice.” (Audio Above)
