What is your preferred draft strategy?

I'm not fond of just sitting still and taking BPA. Although, as Andrew Brandt wrote yesterday, http://mmqb.si.com/2014/05/07/nfl-draft-war-rooms/ that strategy got the Packers Aaron Rodgers in 2005.

I'm not sure about just drafting for need either. That can make you reach for a player that isn't necessarily worthy of the pick.

In NFLN's 'Caught in the draft' 1994, Jimmy Johnson was quoted as saying "I never really wanted to just take the BPA. I wanted to just take the player I wanted". That's when Jimmy went to Jerry Jones about creating some kind of draft trade value card so they could better figure out how they could move up or down to "Go get" the players they wanted.

If you have to go back 9 years for a good example, it's probably not a great strategy.

Granted, this is the fanbase that uses the Ravens of 15 years ago to rationalize not drafting a quarterback...

Try to trade down with San Francisco(if the WR they cover is there).

Take Jimmie Ward, use extra pick from San Fran on Kyle Van Noy(if we don't get our second back, couple the 3rd we get with a 4th or 5th to move up)

Best WR available on the 3rd.

Boom.

Where's the "Trade your best players for 2nd round or lower picks" option?

Well, first i'd start by preparing my Vape, 375 degrees is a good temp to vape at w/o burning the weed. Pack it with some fine herbs and get medicated.

Then I put it on both ESPN and NFLN so i can get maximum coverage. Grab some munchies and my laptop so i can be on Chiefsplanet at the same time.

I tell my wife not to bug....Draft is on....

If the Chiefs pick a good player i'll celebrate with CP, if not, I'll smoke some more weed and log in the following day to read all the bitching, as well as partake in it.

Sounds like me, but mix in some Red Stripe. And I picked up some Chernobyl to help take me to a higher level!! Killah cheeba make me feel IRIE. No matter who we pick (barring an enormous reach) I do remember not liking the Poe pick, and was more put off by him being on the phone and not seeming to care too much where he was going but how high he went. I'm now very glad we made that pick!! Hindsight!!

It's easy to say that you'll draft BPA only, but it's really hard to do. If you have a major gap on your roster, are you really going to let it fester and cost your team games over the next couple of years until the draft slots just right to fill it? If you're a GM who has to win to keep your job, are you going to keep ignoring Kendrick Lewis at free safety because a linebacker or a tight end is ranked higher? If you think it's a quarterback-driven game, will you keep starting Matt Cassel because the highest-ranked player isn't a quarterback?

I don't think you draft purely based on need, but I think it should get an equal weight to BPA. You only go BPA if there's a clear frontrunner who can't be ignored.

I like to get really drunk and throw things at the TV after the pick. That's my strategy and it's been solid for 15 years.
