The draft is less than a month away, which means misinformation about prospects is in full gear, as is the second wave of NFL Free Agency. Is Aaron Rodgers going to be the first name called? Trading Post, Signing Post and the best in quotes, Crowd Noise, are all in this week's edition of TSN.ca's Two Minute Drill.
AROUND THE LEAGUE
- Cal QB Aaron Rodgers is at the top of the draft board for the 49ers, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, putting him at the top overall since the Niners hold the first pick. The paper also mentions that the team has Michigan WR Braylon Edwards rated as the best player in the draft, but the need at quarterback is considered greater.
- USC QB Matt Leinart put to bed any rumours that he might be considering leaving school early for a supplemental draft, telling the Los Angeles Times that he will lead the Trojans again in 2005. There had been talk that San Francisco could draft a receiver like Braylon Edwards, then pick up Leinart in a supplemental draft and, suddenly, have a totally revamped offense.
