[QUOTE="Bobby Roberts, post: 224011, member: 260"] The right player for one team is not necessarily the right player for another. A good OG for many teams might not be a good fit in the ZBS. A great CB or safety may be good for cover 2, but struggle in bump and run. A RB may be good with a lead blocker in a power blocking scheme, but struggle with the quick cut and run of the ZBS. A WR may be a burner but not good at YAC. Those guys could be great college players with high draft status, but they wouldn't fit on the GB roster. One thing to consider when trading down is who could you lose out on? If there isn't a player that would fit on your team and you are stuck with either reaching for some guy or trading down to get an extra pick, TT obviously believes the best choice is to get the extra pick. Don't reach for players and don't pick players who won't fit in terms of strengths and chemistry. If you want to look at TT's philosophy, read this further down in the same article: "We wanted to try to get a tight end if it worked out from a value standpoint during the course of the draft. We weren't specifically looking to draft a defensive end, but we felt a good one got in a position where we could get him, and kind of the same way with a receiver. I think we just added quality to our team." The draft is about adding quality players to the team. There are certain positions you want to fill, but TT only picks those if they have the value at the time. BPA is very difficult because you don't have 224+ players in a perfect order of best to worst. In the 2nd to 3rd rounds, there's likely 10-15 players about equal at each spot -- even more in the later rounds. So if you've picking at #75 and there's a TE amoung the 15 players worthy of that spot, then grab him. If you feel that TE is only worth pick #120 or later, then don't reach for him. Instead pick a high quality player. Of course if there is a DE who you feel is worth #75, but slipped down to #120 -- then jump up and grab him! The philosophy is very different from most GMs. I think most GMs go into the draft with a shopping list of needs and attempt to find guys to fill holes on your team. If the focus is on the needs rather than the players, then you'll likely end up reaching for lower quality players. TT's focus is on quality and getting the best players for the team. That's how the youngest team in the NFL could get to the NFC championship last year! GO PACK GO!!! [/QUOTE]
