Not that this is the case this year but you have some fans saying you pass on a once in a generation RB in round 1 to take the 9th best edge rusher just because its a bigger need and you can get decent RBs on day three.  That doesn't make sense to me if you are drafting the BPA.  Not that I believe anyone drafts strictly BP but its what most fans say is the best strategy.</blockquote>
