It's been 11 years since the 2005 NFL Draft, and at this point, it's probably safe to say that the 49ers kind of blew it with the No. 1 overall pick.

At the time, the 49ers needed a quarterback, so it was pretty clear they were going to take one of two guys: Alex Smith or Aaron Rodgers.

If 49ers fans had gotten to make the selection, San Francisco probably would've drafted Rodgers.
