2005 NFL draft
The 2005 NFL draft was the procedure by which National Football League teams selected amateur college football players. It is officially known as the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting. The draft was held April 23–24, 2005. The league also held a supplemental draft that year, which was held after the regular draft but before the regular season. The draft took place at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City,[1][2] and was televised for the 26th consecutive year on ESPN and ESPN2. It was the first to be held at the Javits Center after Madison Square Garden was utilized for previous drafts since 1995.[3]

The draft is best known for quarterback Aaron Rodgers falling to the 24th selection after being projected as one of the top picks.[4] Rodgers believed he would be taken first overall by the San Francisco 49ers, but after the 49ers selected quarterback Alex Smith, Rodgers was passed on by teams with other positional needs until he was drafted by the Green Bay Packers.[5][6][7] The fall drew retrospective scrutiny due to Rodgers developing a reputation as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.[8][9][10][11]
Compensatory selections were distributed amongst fourteen teams, with the Philadelphia Eagles and St. Louis Rams garnering the most with four picks each.[12] Three of the first five picks were running backs, an NFL Draft first.[13]
