Maybe that partially accounts for the lack of OT prospects.

I also found his response to the first questions about overall draft philosophy interesting.

He says they've always been a BAP team, but later seems to capitulate to need when he says if they are all rated exactly the same, or if there's a slight difference they might go for need, but he says they won't reach.

So if true, a player that doesn't meet a need can be rated a 7.0, and a guy that does meet a need can be rated a 6.9, they could take the 6.9 player and not reach.

Interesting.

Personally -  I think every single GM/FO guy in the league has a similar system.
  For some of them the gap between those similar ratings or grades can be wider and still be deemed acceptable - or not considered a reach. 
For Coughlin it is likely a fairly narrow gap in comparison to others' adopted methods.
