His information on Rodgers and Smith is ancient news in the cable/internet age.
Last night it was reported that the 9ers are in "exclusive negotiations" with Smith for the next two day. It may be that Rodgers will be selected, but the 9ers are making a big push for Smith. What they are hoping for are either 1) Minnesota (for Edwards) or the Bucs (for Smith) will trade up; or 2) They will get a contract for Smith done and draft him.
Rodgers would be a last resort if they feel that Smith's agent is going to be very unreasonable and they can't get a trade done. Rodgers is really falling on the draft board and I think the 9ers would be hugely disappointed with that pick. Regardless of what he predicted last year, his reasoning (that Rodgers and the 9ers are in negotiations and about to get a deal done) is last week's news.
