That BAP VS Need Debate
|
Quote:Exactly how do you state as a fact that "it's not all that difficult..." In the 2013 draft, 11 1st round picks (over 1/3) ended up in the hands of a different team. In 2012, 16 1st round picks (HALF!) changed hands. There is NO WAY you can convince me that trading is all that difficult. I agree that Gene probably though his man-crushes Alualu and Cox were the BAP. I read somewhere that he had Gabbert rated as the 2nd best player in 2011 (after Patrick Peterson). Of course his evaluation was a major problem. Even so, a GM has to have a good feel as to how long a player might last before he's picked, and be willing to take a risk. This is especially true if the player isn't that much better than the guy you can get 10 picks later. Do you want Alualu, or would you rather trade down and get Jared Odrick AND Sean Lee? Based on what other teams did, that trade down was available in 2010. Alualu might have even still been there instead of Odrick. Gene's failure was not about BAP vs. need, he just sucked as a GM. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
