[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 476196, member: 2846"] Here's some issues with your theories: [B]Drafting for need[/B]: Most people use this term to describe a draft pick that was a major reach. You need a TE and you take a player a tier below because he is the highest graded TE. If you are at 25 and the only players left are in the same tier, one is a TE and you pick him, that is still BPA. [B]Tiers: [/B]There are enough quotes out there from TT to realize the the Packers use a tier system to grade players. Although they list them in order - it is understood that their are talent tiers. That is to say, the first tier may have 6 players, the 2nd has 12 players and the 3rd tier may be 18 players starting. If you are drafting 15, you should have your pick of at least 3 - 2nd tier guys. You, obviously, pick the one that is your teams greatest need. But that is still BPA. As far as your Miller/Matthews argument; again, there may have been a TE or OT that the Packers had rated in the same tier as Perry. If not - you still take Perry. [B]Trading up for Heyward.[/B] Again, how on earth can that not be BPA? TT is sitting in the 3rd round at pick 90ish. He sees a player that is rumored to have a Packer 1st round grade.
