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.

I'd draft a gunner in round 7. I've heard that's a pretty important role, more so than a lineman. It's why we should have kept Wylie around.

Dorsey does rank all of the draft board in order, but as they do in Green Bay, they also rank them against the current guys on the roster - so it does skew it some by positions of need...


My best guess is they look at the two numbers and there's a maximum differential they use to make a final call.

I've heard that before and i don't like it at all.


So if you have a pro bowl guy at the position on the roster you don't draft another pro bowl talent guy? That kicks BPA right in the nuts.

sounds like it's a weird way to say we include 'need' into the selection.

I edited and added to my post. There's a way to avoid giving too much weight to current roster guys.

I think the thing that gets lost in the BPA argument is that it's not usually comparing one likely pro bowler against a bunch of stiffs. There are probably players of very similar talent and prospects available at multiple positions, so unless someone really jumps out from the crowd, why not take the most promising player at the position you need instead of the most promising player at the position where you're solid?

I doubt this will happen. Punters usually aren't taken that high.

I voted NBO and the only reason is it's the only "honest" approach.

You say BPA and any GM in the league can say "Player X was rated 6 spots above us. He fell and we took him."

NO ONE has any idea how their team ranks players.

Unless you draft a punter in the 1st BPA covers all bases with the fans and media...

I think you grade the players, put them in order based on talent, and then do some minor shuffling based on need. If two guys are close, and one is a need, you grab the need guy. What I don't want to do is grab a need guy if there's a guy who grades way above him, but just happens to be a position where we have guys at already. You also have to take into account (just minutely more than need) contract. You only get 4 years out of a 1st rounder before the next contract, so will he be able to beat out the guy you already have in a reasonable amount of time? Do you have the flexibility to release or trade the guy already there without screwing yourself?

tl;dr
