Quote:As I recall reading in the past, Caldwell said he is a needs drafter, but does it by BAP. As an easy example, QB and DE/LEO are both huge needs. Just because we need a QB, doesn't mean he's going to reach for one. Since we're also in big need of a stud DE/LEO, if a DE ranks higher then whatever the best QB is on the board, they'll take the DE.

 

Now this is how I assumed it when I read his comments a long time ago. It very well could have just been a sneaky GM line that lets him cover both sides.
