To be clear, though I have been heavily engrossed in the need v. BAP debates over the years, it was not my intent to re-litigate that here in this thread.

I just noted it to help illustrate the larger comparative lack of defensive advocacy this offseason.

To be fair to you Bullseye, I highjacked your post in order to discuss the book. But, in my defense, I felt like the two points went together very well. Every team has needs, and if you simply ignore them then they will be your downfall. But to overreact to your needs is when teams get into trouble. At least, in my opinion.

That was understood perfectly, and I didn't see your post as highjacking my thread at all.

The Patriots certainly know how to draft for their team, scheme and needs.  Free agency, too.

It's uncanny...the bastards!

Depending on what happens in free agency, it wouldn’t shock me if the first four selections made by the Jags were all offensive players. And it does seem to be a fairly universal outlook.

So indulge me in some hypotheticals.

If the Jaguars just came out of free agency with Foles?  All offense in the first four picks?

What about Bridgewater? 

Foles (or Bridgewater) + a Ju'Wann James?

Foles + Golden Tate?
