You can't use BAP in today's environment, and not one team does.


30 years ago? Absolutely, it was the best method, without question, although both could still be employed.


The salary cap and FA have made BAP obsolete and irrelevant, unless you want to pull at particular aspects of it.

 

...in your unreferenced and unproven opinion.

You posted a link to an article with quotes from former personnel men which categorically states teams will not draft players in certain positions early in the the draft.

 

 

Now, when I was with Green Bay, we had Brett Favre. We would never take a quarterback in the first round with Brett Favre in his prime.

 

 

As to how that relates to the draft, it's pretty safe to assume Atlanta and Baltimore won't be choosing quarterbacks in the first round, the Vikings will probably pass on a tailback with the 22nd overall pick and New England might not be adding a running back or quarterback with its first (23rd) selection because they're fairly well set at those positions.

 

 

At some point, even those teams that select the "best available" player will select for need, Devaney said.

 

Consider it referenced and proven.

Just to be different, Bortles.

Former Bears Gm Jerry Angelo weighs in on the BAP vs Need debate.

 

Also he has Greg Robinson as his #1 prospect likening him to Walter Jones.
