No. I don't. Not based on the Jaguars' draft picks. There is simply no way they drafted BAP and no one will convince me otherwise. As far as my opinions being indisputable facts, of course not! No opinions are, but there is simply no way to justify some of these picks as BAP. Just look at the Farrell selection. Meyer said he took him, because he knew him and thought he was a really good guy. How does that make him the best available player? He was a run blocking TE with very little production at all in the NCAA and there was still 2 rounds to go in the draft. There is simply no way, no how, he was the BAP out of everyone still left on the board. This pick is unjustifiable, if you are arguing he was the BAP. To say Farrell was the BAP at that point would have gone against every draft ranking I have seen all year and I've seen hundreds. Every mock I've seen either had him as a 7th rounder or undrafted.

Wouldn't you say that you are a needs-based drafter?  After all, you focused with laser-like intensity on the need to replace one or both of our offensive tackles.  You wanted to draft an offensive lineman at pick 25.  It seemed like you wanted an offensive lineman there no matter what else was available.  Isn't that needs-based drafting? 

And if you think the Jags drafted for need, isn't it possible that they perceive team needs differently than you do?

Shad Khan handed the team over to Urban Meyer.  I don't know if he's drafting for need or best available, but he's building the team that he wants.  Can't you guys at least wait until you see the result before you start calling him an idiot?
