Quote: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?

This is something you fail to grasp yet has been repeated over and over again. NFL ratings on players aren't the same as the Jags or any other team. They rate their own players.


I would also disagree with you with always drafting BAP. There are many examples why this method can produce less then adequate results. For example, you have a top 5 LT on your team who is top 5 at his position. The next year, you drafting at number 1 and your highest rated player is a LT. The next highest rated player is a DE. You need a DE and you don't need a LT. The DE will make your team better. The LT will sit on your bench or try to convert to RT which is a risk in itself. This is why you need a flexible GM. Also, it doesnt hurt to have common sense which you seem to severely lack.
