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.  

 

But that's the point.

 

Alualu may well have been the best player on his board even though we perceive him to be a reach.  Smith did not maximize value.  But those results, in themselves, do not necessarily mean Smith was a needs drafter.

 

If the flaw was in the evaluation process, he can wrongly conclude Alualu was anything remotely resembling a good player and worth the 10th overall spot, rank his board accordingly, then legitimately (but tragically and mistakenly) think he's picking BAP and getting good value with the pick.
