I'm right with you on your analysis. Seems like he always drafted for need in the first round, then best available afterwards. And the results speak for themselves.I am unsure whether the disparity between first and 2nd round players can be explained purely by need vs BAP drafting, because CB and LB (Mathis and Smith) were needs when they were drafted in the second round. Considering the offense JDR was going to run, you could argue FB was a need, too. TE has perpetually been a need for this team, and he drafted Marcedes Lewis in the first round. He did actually make a Pro Bowl for us and wound up with a very long career. I tend to think his paradigm for WRs (big, long striders) was off somehow, or otherwise did not correctly evaluate their character, as both wound up developing substance abuse issues. Fair points, though I'd say sometimes a team needing a lot of help certainly advances the perception of need based drafting. To counter, I'll offer MJD. We certainly didn't need a RB in 2006, but the player facing us in the second round was better than anyone left. But yes, we're certainly on the same page in thinking Harris is far from one of this franchise's villains. Quite frankly, I'd take a return to that over what we have had to put up with for over a decade. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today! |
