You will still be able to find a pass rusher, linebacker, corner depth and a starting right tackle, right?<uncomfortable two second silence> Good. Talk to you later".

I love how you have to force a FO bash and not even address the question of the thread.

You can't have a plan set in stone. Each year is different and each draft class determines the plan of action you can take. Many teams focus on BPA but you also have to consider need as well.

I think as much as you want to plan for the draft, you have to be ready for anything come draft day. For instance, it seems like the Redskins were willing to move up to pick up Orakpo, which personally I don't think it would have been such a good idea. However, I think the Raiders taking Heyward-Bey with their #7 pick, changed things around which led to Orakpo falling to us.
