Quote:I wouldn't call any of these four a reach where I have them slotted. At least not currently.

My point is that you list all positions of need in your hypothetical draft after stating it's a bad idea to draft that way.

If you are actually drafting BAP, it's really, really unlikely that you'd come away with four positions of need with your first four picks.

A higher rated player of less need would be sitting there at one of those picks and you'd be obliged to take him if you are not considering "need" in the draft.

Point taken and well said

I need to re-word my post.

Quote:Pure BAP drafting is a magic unicorn to all but the best teams with the most complete rosters.

For the rest of the teams BAP is relegated to the later rounds.

In particular, Coughlin definitely at least considers need. I recall him drafting a DT in the 6th round once and he said something to the effect that for the first time with the pick he made a straight out BAP pick. In other words, he rarely does that.
