Quote:Every team that has participated in the draft, in one way or another, has drafted based on need. BAP is a myth, that continues to live on long after Genius Gene ' tenure here. Will it die?

You are kinda stealing my thunder here.


I posed the question to the board earlier about whether the Jaguars got good value with the picks from the first two days. The overwhelming sentiment is that the Jaguars got good value with the picks from rounds 1-3. Based upon what I see on the board after rounds 4-5, that sentiment doesn't appear to have changed.


Among those who have lauded the value of the picks in this draft were the staunchest BAP advocates over the past few years, who argued their concept of BAP is a superior method of drafting to needs based drafting because needs based drafting ignores value.


Granted, our enthusiasm over this draft class aside, these guys still have to go and produce.


But if our initial thoughts and the initial assessments of the media are accurate without the benefit of hindsight, let this draft shatter the misconception that needs based drafting is incapable of maximizing value.
