I've pointed out 4 or 5 picks in he past two drafts (prior to the 5th round) that didn't make sense for our needs or the positional value among those needs.

here are tow local beat writers saying the same thing

Meh, the positions he drafted isn't the problem.  It's the players!  If these dudes were studs it would be good to great picks but he's drafting [BLEEP].  My biggest problem with him is drafting guys that suck.  The Lions took a RB in the first, off the ball LB mid first,  and a TE very high in the 2nd, both higher then where we took our RB and TE and they were great picks.  Question is out on Campbell but if he turns into a stub it will be a great pick as well.  

I know you think positional value is a mystery of the universe like the Bermuda Triangle - but is actually a real thing, LOL. 

It is the postional value.
The horrible askance treatment of positional value would somewhat negated if he picked guys that made impact in year one or two at the lesser positions he focused on - but he still royally screwed up the positional value.

#2 TEs and #3 RBs should never be taking precedent when your intent is too start Ben Bartch and Luke Fortner.
