Quote:No, the reason is there are too many scenarios that come up.  That is why you have to be flexible.  There is a reason not one GM does what you keep saying every GM needs to do.

Seriously, if positional value isn't already built into the board of most of these guys I'd be shocked. Which is to say that no punter, no matter how excellent, will be ranked higher than a good o or d lineman.

 

Like I said, if a GM is abandoning his board and reaching for guys that's a big problem. I don't get the feeling Caldwell is like that, though. My guess is once his board is set he won't start going "well I didn't expect player x to be gone, I'd better reach for that lesser guy who plays position y because we need a warm body in a seat in that meeting room.
