[QUOTE="Favre>Rodgers259, post: 658712, member: 10866"] I don't necessarily believe in that analysis. There are nearly 250 players selected in the Draft and you're telling there are only 32 1st Round grades? There are always players, like Randall or Matthews who could have gone into the 2nd but easily picked up in the 1st. I feel like you either draft BPA or you draft based on need; but rarely can you do both. Sometimes during the Draft you can't stick to one route however and have to know when it's time to switch based on the what's going on. 2013 was an ABYSMAL year for DL and instead of TT going, "Well we need a DE and he's the best one on the board" he should have switched off and boosted the team in other ways. Here are a couple players who went shortly after Jones at 26th: DeAndre Hopkins 27th Overall (We've drafted 6 WRs since 2013.....safe to say with Hopkins that never would have been necessary) Travis Fredrick 31st Overall (Jerry was blasted for the pick but look who's laughing now) Manti Te'o 38th Overall (Safe to say we wouldn't be looking for a ILB right now) Kiko Alonso 48th Overall (Even better than Te'o) Le'Veon Bell 50th Overall (Mostly fantasizing but can you imagine a Bell/Lacy 1-2 punch?)
