What is interesting is that the Redskins scurried to trade up at that point to secure Jason Campbell as the #25 pick.

Homer Simpson says it best ...
Well it's easy to look back. What in the hell were the 49ers thinking??? He was right there in their back yard and they still passed on him! And for Alex Smith?? But he wound up in the right place. GB is a stable organization. If he was here or SF, he probably would not be the QB he is today.
