Ranking a player way too high on your board is basically the same as a reach.

The "it's not a reach if they were at the top of your board" argument is just a ridiculous way of trying to defend the losing side of a pointless debate about need vs BAP.

Whether you reached for a Strange or Bigsby type-of-pick - or you legit thought they the best players available - either way you screwed up.

(FTR - I think Bigsby will be good if the line improves and I Strange seems like a 50/50 chance of proving worthy in time.)

The fact that the draft capital of those picks wasn't utilized differently is my rub.
For whatever reason our FO/HC didn't think our IOL needed help when it clearly did - or they didn't think the IOL prospects available at those picks were a good fit. The result of not doing enough to bolster those interior line spots ended up being a major reason they lost the division and did not advance to the playoffs.

ANNNNNNNYway -
I'd love to see them find a quality IDL player in this draft.
I hope they don't think they are "good" in the trenches yet.
And I don't care if they reach down their board a few spots to take him as long he turns out to be impactful.
