Aaron Rodgers

The best in the game, period. By ranking him in the 30-40 range overall, I know that he's unlikely to fall to me in drafts, but that's because of how replaceable the position really is. The dip from Rodgers to someone like Matthew Stafford is typically four points per game, which is a much larger gap from someone like Melvin Gordon down to someone like Giovani Bernard. If Rodgers falls to the end of the third-round, that's when I'd start to consider him.

Aaron Rodgers, Packers eying post-draft extension?

Green Bay Packers beat writer Pete Dougherty believes the team will extend QB Aaron Rodgers around the time of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Now that Jimmy Garoppolo, Derek Carr and Matthew Stafford received their long-term deals, only Kirk Cousins remains before it is time to extend Rodgers. And while Cousins is poised to finally get his deal at the start of free agency, the timeline suggests that Rodgers will soon follow. Although a new contract for Rodgers isn't immediately needed -- he has two years remaining on his current deal -- the two sides are reportedly inclined to get this done sooner rather than later. Per Dougherty, the Packers could pursue the same route as they did with extending Rodgers in 2013, which was adding three years and $150 million to his current deal, or ultimately sign him to a three-year fully guaranteed deal, which would be a first in the NFL.
