[over the mountain]

should be interesting, something to listen to on my daily exodus.

ive been looking for a thread discussing draft strategy of BPA vs need vs balance of BPA within your needs (i.e. if we need OT, LB and DE we take the BPA of those 3 positions).

vinny has been bashed alil for his BPA approach but i was surprised to find alot of intelligent nfl minds also go BPA like ozzie newsome. of course with BPA you need to evaluate talent accurately which is our problem IMO when we have to pick outside the top 15 or so where you really need to do your homework.

look at taylor jacobs, they said they had him graded out as 1st round talent so when he was there in the 2nd they had to take him as the BPA. also i remember vinny saying they had thomas, davis and kelly all graded out as 1st round talent so when you get a chance to add them in the 2nd you do it. which is great if that guy you gave a 1st round grade to is really a 1st round grade player. problem is theres a reason vinny's "1st round talent" is stil availabe in the 2nd . . .no other nfl gm gave them a 1st round grade or they have injury flags (kelly, mcintosh). i also think vinny over-values skilled position players like WRs vs other positions.

thats why i really hope we stay at 13, if we trade down vinnys suspect talent evaluation is even more critical.

sorry for the draft rant, i know everyone is sick of it.

go skins!!!!
