Vinny's Draft Strategy: Best Player or Predetermined Agenda?

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.

Matty again is spot-on. The subject of this thread creates a false either/or.

For the record, I hate most either/or questions simply because there are usually more choices. Maybe based on the thread title you're right, but read my explanation of the thread - I think they have a plan, and from that plan they may choose BPA, e.g. best LBs available (09), best safeties available (08), best wr's available (08).

If anyone has created a "false either/or" it's Vinny, who has said publicly that they simply pick BPA. My point is that there seems too much of a pattern here w/regards to positions to say that it is as much BPA as Vinny publicly states.

Not a criticism of the approach, just an attempt to identify the FO plan.
