Quote:Yes, but I'm looking at a pattern Bullseye of Gene saying one thing and doing another.  Talk is cheap.  I'm looking at his actions.  Does any of us really know 100% bet our life that Gene wasn't what he said he was?  No, but logically based on him saying one thing and doing another over a period of time, I don't think he was a BAP drafter.  I don't care what he said.  I'm looking at his draft.  I don't believe Alualu was BAP on his board.  I think he reached for him.  I think he reached on a punter as well.  He said he was going to maximize value and he didn't.  He said he was going to stock pile draft picks and he didn't.  All we can go by are his actions.  

There is nothing in his actions that show he wasn't following BAP. You are making the assumption that he values things the same way as you or the talking heads do.

 

Besides, what would be his motivation to lie about the reason he made a pick? There is no stigma attached to being a "needs" drafter. Many front offices regularly admit to that motivation in the draft. All that matters is whomever you pick turns out to be good.
