Quote: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.

 

You dont know any of this.

 

How on earth would you know if the OL picks were need? Because you haven't heard of them?

 

Robinson is a big X WR. We didn't have one when he was picked. With Blackmon done, that was a big need.

 

Apart from Gratz, our corners are all late rounders or journeymen. I'd say we need help at CB.

 

Outside of Poz, who is old, our LBs are marginal at best. Tevin Smith will have to be really bad to not get any game time this year.

 

Only a very small number of people know who was picked more out of need and who was picked because they were ranked higher than anyone else. You are not one of those people.
