[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 879382"] I attempted to explain that, but lets consider another angle on the trade up. Even if Love is perceived as the best player available at that spot you're not done. You traded a 4th. round pick. You have to consider the aggreagate value of the two picks vs. the one player. As for the Favre story, if Wolf valued Favre that highly what was he doing waiting for him to drop? Was he assuming the other 31 GMs were stoopid, all with much lower assessments? That story has little credibility given trade up options. It would be equivalent to saying that Gutekunst thought Love was the #1 prospect in this draft, a ludicrous proposition but an equivalent one nonetheless, and then refusing to trade up for him. The BPA argument becomes more problematic in a trade down. By definition, you've passed on the best player available. Gutekunst has not done that at the top of the draft. I can't recall , You're not picking players here. You're building a roster with the inherent trade-offs. Again, the complexity is not simply in the grading of players and the building of the board. It's a function of talents, needs and costs in the context of trade-offs. And why would free agency be any different? Was Za'Darius Smith the "best player available" in free agency? That's not even a relevant question. Was he the best player available at 4 years / $66 mil? You're getting warmer but not there. Was Za'Darius Smith the best 4 year / $66 mil player [B]for this roster, this team[/B]? Bingo. That's a function of need and the perceived value proposition in the context of what you are trying to accomplish as a team, and not from the perspective of just one season. [/QUOTE]
