What it looks like to me is that you feel everyones board is the same. Obviously superior scouting helps minimize busts but you never know... Should you be yelling at the Seahawks because they drafted Aaron Curry who was the only "can't miss prospect"?

 

I'm sure most teams select the player who they feel will be the best player for their team but sometimes, it just doesn't work out.

 

Not at all.

 

In no way do I operate under the assumption that everyone's board is the same, because there are different factors that go into the formulation of a draft board.

 

The competence of the scouting departments and FOs are the main factor.

 

Aside from that, the schematic needs/player paradigms of the team will factor in.  A 3-4 team will arrange it's board differently from a 4-3 team.

 

Some organizations place a higher/lower priority on character than others.

 

But no matter how your formulate your draft board, the evaluations better be correct.

 

BAP advocates here have LONG operated under the assumption there is no way a BAP team can produce busts, because every bad pick is automatically determined to be a "need pick."

 

And no, even though Seattle is the reigning Super Bowl champion and their FO has done a great job building their team, they are not immune from picking busts, either.
