I usually pick on Mel Kiper just because he's the most famous.  It's nothing specific about him.  Pick your favorite mock drafter.  I absolutely believe that people who passionately argue for "BAP" take mock drafters as if they were the bible.  My point is what if "Player A" is ranked as follows:

Jaguars:  10th best player in draft
Mock Drafter:  20th best player in draft

The Jaguars take the player at 15.  Was he a reach?  The Jaguars thought he was a value pick.  If he turns out to be a bust, the "BAP" squad on here will say that the Jaguars reached for a need and use it as proof that needs drafting is bad.  If Player A is good, they will quickly forget and they will remember Player A as "BAP" or SeldomRite will just say that the Jaguars "got lucky".
