About 10 people know whether these picks were need based or BAP and none of them post here.

I don't know who was BAP on the Jags board, but I can get a pretty good feel as to need. If a player is picked at a position where there is no need, it is NOT a need pick. Presumably it is a BAP pick. What would the 3rd choice be, a guy picked because Caldwell thinks he'd look good in the team photo?

With Shorts, Sanders, Brown, and Lee, WR was no longer a need when Robinson was picked. Center was, and the best center in the draft was still available.

CB was not a need when Colvin was picked, and Colvin is not expected to start this year. Several RBs and FSs (needs) were taken shortly afterwards.

LB was not a need when Telvin Smith was picked, and Smith is not expected to start this year. OL was a need and Yankey was available.

That's three players who were definitely not need picks, but were likely BAP picks based on pre draft value boards. I have no evidence that they were BAP on the Jags board, but it's a logical conclusion.

Four other picks, Bortles, Lee, Storm Johnson, and Chris Smith could also have been BAP based on pre draft value boards, but they also fit needs. Of course the Jags had plenty of needs. Caldwell claimed Bortles was #1 on our board.

The two OL were clearly needs, not BAP.

I see this as a mostly BAP draft. It's at least partly a BAP draft.
