It's never simply "just take the best player", because it's never that cut and dry. The people making the decisions/opinions in that scouting department and front office, who are way above our pay grade will always have differing opinions. Which is why you can't just look at it as "just take the best player".
Also, the same goes for Urban as it does Baalke. Except at least Baalke has been in the NFL. Urban hasn't done anything in the NFL. I want to see results, not listen to words, especially from somebody who is just now learning the ropes, as he all but said himself.
At the end of the day, we'll all be questioning picks over the next 3 days regardless. Some will say good things, some will say bad things, some will think there were better players on the board at said pick/s, AKA BAP etc etc. The point is nobody will know who the BAP was until 3 years from now anyways when we're all playing the hindsight is 20/20 game and saying we should have drafted x y and z instead.
Lol, you still don't understand and I'm not sure if you ever will. BAP drafting is taking the top player on your board instead of reaching for need. For 100th time there is rare instances you don't take the top guy on your board, you have to use common sense. But its irrelevant who the best player is 3 years down the road. It's just the draft tragedy you implement. Some teams reach for need, the successful ones take the top guy on their board if their player evaluations are right and you trust your board. If you don't trust your board then what are you doing? You don't have to believe Meyer, Baalke, Arians, Newsome and multiple GMs when they say to take the BAP but it's how to be successful in this league.if your player evaluations are on
I just love love love that your original response included your previous post with this gem:
Quote:they will trust their board and pick the top player on their board, hopefully their player evaluations are right
The juxtaposition with your follow up is :chef's kiss:
I honestly feel we are saying the same thing. Just one school is calling it blorps and the other wants to call it floops. In the end, it's just darft, and always has been.
Think of pressers this way - no (sane) GM is ever going to come out and say "I refuse to take the best player available when our pick comes up if I can take someone else at a position of greater need." Even after the pick is made, they are going to either discount the position of the more talented player or overvalue the position of need in the face of less talent, and by doing so create a scenario where the player they choose is
in their eyes the best option at that time.
Why is that so hard to grasp? We should all know floops when we see them at this point.
