Quote:Tyson Alualu was a terrible reach. You could hear the murmurs mixed with laughs around the draft gallery. The Sports Xchange said in their post draft analysis that the Jacksonville Jaguars' scouting department was probably the only one in the entire NFL that listed Alualu among the top ten players in the 2010 draft.

 

 

Alualu was listed as a top forty player in 2010. Gene Smith took him at 10, or thirty picks too high. He was clearly not the best player available regardless of position.

 

So the Team Gene Regime gave up a twenty in pick value and got ten or eleven in pick value back in player-asset. That's a draft bust right out of the box.

 

Did you have access to Gene's board?  Or are you merely speculating and stating it as fact?  Thats the problem with BAP.  Not everyone's drafting off the same board.  Forget best available at the 10th pick, for all you know Alualu was the #1 overall top ranked player in the entire draft on Gene's board.  We dont have a clue where Alualu was rated on his board.

 

Forget needs, forget BAP, just scout well and use common sense when drafting.  The rest will follow.
