Think!

And to be clear, you are holding up Baalke as the paragon of sound drafting practices?  Am I reading this correctly?

Exactly!

On top of that BAP drafting is no guarantee of success, either if you evaluate the players incorrectly and rank them incorrectly.

It was a no win situation with Dave, he should of been fired when Tom came in.  We were going to make Jalen the highest paid corner and we offered Yawn way more than he was worth and money per year he will never get close to.  So they tried to retain both but both had their own issues so it was best to cut ties.  Happy.the culture is different now and we have good character guys that are good at football.

Well the Jags , Vikings, Ravens, Raiders, and Colts disagree with yall.  as well as every other team in the NFL lol.  I would say the Colts agree but he is only making 13 mil per year, he would still be here if he was that cheap but he turned down the offer when we offered 6 mil more and more years than he has ever received.  You would of made him the highest paid DE because it's not your money

The bolded is:

• Inaccurate
  
• Conflating unrelated matters 
  
• Wildly assumptive
  

Those teams don't disagree with me. They vied for his services and moved on when they saw a different way forward. They all got what they paid for. I bet they are all happy customers. They got affordable sacks and pressures. 

The colts clearly value his production and see an easy way to maneuver around his lackluster play vs the run. 
(so did the Jags)

You have absolutely no idea if the Jags 2020 offer included more guaranteed money than the 26 mil he's guaranteed from the colts. 
We never saw any terms, and the leaked offer amount has never even been confirmed by either party. It was most likely leaked by the team in an attempt to save face with agents and the NFLPA. If so, they are obviously going to try to paint the picture of an exorbitant offer even if it wasn't. 

But, then again, you're a guy who believes in the tooth fairy and pure BPA, so it's probably really easy for you to lie to yourself about all of the circumstances around the Jags' failures to retain key talent that impacts their W/L column.
