Quote:I totally DIS-agree with that last part.

You should always try to get a player as late as you possibly can (within reason) in the draft, otherwise, you are just threw value away.

For instance, yes Tom Brady turned out to be great - we all know that - but why draft him with a 3rd rounder when he's not likely to be drafted until after the 5th?....you can grab players more commensurate to their value in the rounds leading up to Brady's approx perceived value and then take him there.

Trading up in later rounds a few spots to get your player I don't mind....but doing stuff like the Alualu reach and Gabbert deals, I do not like. He'd have been better waiting to see if Gabbert merely fell to 16, and if he didn't, the Kaepernick or Mallett options were still there...this goes back to my point of being too rigid and making the cardinal sin of falling in love with "his" players.

I get the falling in love with a guy argument. With QB though, I think it can always be worth it to trade up. Especially when it's not as easy as saying well if Quarterback A is gone, we can just take Quarterback B. There could be a huge gap between the two and trading up helps guarantee you get the guy you want.
