Quote:Caldwell has always been a needs drafter. It's pretty obvious.

 

Of course I understand what BAP means. I also understand there is absolutely no reason to pick a WR when we already are stocked at that position and have many holes on the defensive side.

You're right

 

Quote:Not trying to make you change you mind, just trying to make you understand that BAP has nothing to do with what you already have on your roster.

 

Also, I don't think DC is a needs based drafter. We have so many holes, I understand how it could look that way.

You're wrong

"We're going to be a needs-based team," Caldwell told John Oehser of Jaguars.com at the 2013 Senior Bowl. "If comparable, we'll go with the greater need.

 

"As long as you have a need in the first round, you try to get the best available player to fill that need."

 

This shouldn't be a shock for most people, because this is what teams generally wind up doing, despite their lip service to the public and media. The idea of "BAP" is nice in theory, but rarely is it actually applied in the early rounds of the NFL Draft.

<p class="" style="font-family:'Mercury SSm A', 'Mercury SSm B', Georgia, serif;color:rgb(41,41,41);font-size:16px;">Caldwell indicated to Oehser that he's more inclined to lean towards drafting for need in the early rounds of the draft, then applying the "best available player" philosophy in the later rounds, which he should.
