Quote:I agree that I would've like Warford better at that pick, but they didn't pick Gratz thinking he would be just a depth player.

 

I think they had a similar grade but went CB because the value of the position compared to a guard isn't even close.

 

You always take the best player available regardless of what position that player plays. Why draft a less talented football player?

 

Picks are assets. You draft to covert the pick to a player.

 

Give me twenty dollars and I'll give you fifteen back. Is that OK?

 

By the same token, if your draft pick is worth twenty and you take fifteen instead, you've got less talent for your pick.

 

Caldwell took a far less talented football player then he could have. Why draft less talented players?
