That is why we still suck to this day.

Vinny drafted for need or decided to burn his money(draft picks ARE a currency) to fill "needs" via trades. Jason Taylor was a "need" trade. TJ Duckett was a "need" trade. Drafting Thomas and Kelly for that "big WR" were also a need picks. If he REALLY wanted to draft BPA in 2008, Vinny had Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Mendenhall, Sam Baker etc to take.

Usually, QBs are BPA or the difference is not enough to pick a non-QB over another QB. TEs usually do not go in the first round anyway.

We are not stacked even at those positions, not long-term anyway. 3 years from now, Fletch will more than likely be retired, Otogwe is gone, and Cooley is gone. Our entire team is going to be ass in three years if we do NOT HIT on players. Hitting on players is the #1 imperative of drafting. If you do not hit, you address nothing and leave the roster in worse shape and waste time with some loser.

Carey Price is my example of BPA working out. The Habs were "loaded" at goalie when they drafted him, but almost all of those other goalies have not done much in the present.
