I was just pointing out that from the team's perspective, all those other definitions are irrelevant. They have their own board, the product of literally millions of dollars of work (including I think it's safe to assume a great deal of medical study). So whatever in both our opinion valid injury concerns the class has, the fact remains that these picks were BPA based on their own board. Dorsey outright said as much. So like Deez pointed out, there's some irony when analysts - or you or I - beat the "BPA" drum, yet then turn around and criticize them for actually picking what was BPA on their board.
In any case, it's a pretty radical departure in philosophy for this organization, and I would say it's long overdue. Whether it works out or not, I don't know, but I'm certainly happier with this approach that I was with the Eric Fisher end of the spectrum.
(not to mention head scratchers like Braden Wilson).
At the end of the day, I think they drafted a few guys with legitimate star potential. And they picked the guys where were at the top of their board. Were they the names I expected or even wanted based on stuff I read pre-draft? No. But does that really matter?
