Yeah it's a good observation, right now the talk is purely needs based. That's probably down to the fact that FA hasn't happened yet and people don't really anticipate us really spending any money in it. Therefore everyone has their eyes on the draft to fill the needs on our team, of which TE and O-line are especially glaring needs. I suspect that we will actually make more moves than expected in FA and our biggest holes will be patched up, and people will be a bit more open to BAP than they are now.

Also, generally I think most people realize that the BAP vs Need debate is strictly a philosophical one and doesn't actually have much application to reality, every team has always looked for a marriage of the two, like NYC said.

As far as the Jags go, I'd readily accept Williams, Bosa, or Allen as a BAP pick at 7. I think they are the three blue chip prospects in this draft and therefore should be drafted ahead of all else. After that I'd say the grades all get a lot closer together, so you may as well look for someone that fills a need.
