I'm sure that there are a lot of factors utilized in the gathering of data and inputting that into the Decision Lens. I'm not really sure how much he uses the Decision Lens results as it relates to the draft. Is it 100%? Is it a 70/30 split? And I seriously doubt that we'll ever find that out.
However, it seems that need is a lot lower on the list than BPA at this point.
Ford, Gaines and Murray were certainly not high "need" picks, but rather BPA and BPA as assessed by a certain physical parameter determined by Dorsey/DL data versus anything else (most likely as there were outwardly better players available, at least IMO, where these guys were picked as it relates to college production, etc.).
In terms of cornerbacks and need, they just picked up Gaines in the draft. That's addressing that potential need that you've highlighted if Smith and Flowers are released as you've suggested. As such, that need has been mitigated to a certain extent.
However, the WR position still remains the biggest hole on the roster in terms of potential long term production as it relates to personnel on the roster. Avery sucks. Jenkins is nothing but hope at this point. You hope that DAT is as least as good as McCluster was and pray for DeSean Jackson level productivity. He'll most likely beat out Dressler for that returner/slot guy, but I think he'll be in a battle with Albert Wilson, who is a dark horse to really make some noise on the roster IMO. Hemingway is a special teamer ace, #4/5 WR guy material and nothing more. The position is total shit.
I'm still blown away about Gaines over Donte Moncrief. I think that was several magnitudes more of a **** up than Ford over S'ua-Filo.
