Quote:Agree.  If you want someone less than BAP because of need, you trade down to where you can safely draft him.

 

Otherwise, that's what makes a reach, a reach (and puts GMs jobs on the line.)

 

I simply doesn't make any sense to take a lesser talent than BAP.  if you don't need him, find someone else who does and trade.  Or, prepare to upgrade your position and send someone packing.  Someone certainly can use the pick or player.  There's too much energy wasted talking ourselves out of what's simply common sense, if broken down to it's basic elements.  You get the highest value out of every pick that you can get.

 

This isnt madden. Players don't come with neatly packaged rankings and even if they did, is the 82 overall DT you don't need more valuable to you than the 79 overall CB that you do need?

 

Obviously you trust your rankings, you don't force things that aren't there and you dont look gift horses in the mouth, but to just rank'em and then pick'em regardless is foolish.
