Him and Gay are a perfect example of needing to be varied in your approach to player acquisition.
You don't go strictly by measurables - you'd pass on Bolton if you did. And you don't go strictly off production - you'd pass on Gay. Don't focus entirely on ceiling or floor either.
You need to be cognizant of both. Sometimes you try to find combinations of those traits. Sometimes you try to find guys who stand out in one area or another. Mix it all throughout your draft. Take some high floor, low ceiling guys and vice versa. Take some guys who explode on tape
and a few who show out on the stopwatch.
But you don't get tunnel vision. Don't get married to a set approach. There's a little luck involved here and the wider you cast your net, the more likely you are to catch what you're fishing for.
