It's just apples and oranges to me, which is why I don't follow a strict list of BPA (I kind of just throw my top ten list together based on teh players I like the most). How on earth can you tell the difference between the #78 player and the #79 player if they play two completely different positions.

That's why I have everybody sorted out on "levels," more than anything, rather than having a strict list. It allows for flexibility, and I'm entirely certain that's what Herm does.

I have Chris Long and Dorsey down as "cream of the crop." Now if you genuinely think Dorsey's crop is creamier than Long's (gross), that's on you. But I just don't see how a prospect can get any higher than Chris. Dorsey's up there with him, sure, but I don't see how he gets any higher.
It is splitting hairs-I'm not saying Long isn't a phenomenal draft prospect-he is. However, I think Dorsey has a more COMPLETE game-he's great at pressuring the QB from the inside AND he is fierce against the run. Long isn't great at his run-stopping ability- that alone edges Dorsey past Long in my book. Complete is better than specialized in my book.
