[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 960605, member: 13032"] All GMs will say they take the BPA. I don't buy that, and if you look at the Packers' drafting, it seems to be more for need. That said, I'm pretty sure the player drafted for need is within 2 or 3 spots of the BPA on any GM's draft board. In other words, most GMs won't reach far from a BPA to draft for need, and sometimes they may line up just fine. In other cases where their BPA is far away, they'll trade the pick rather than reach. A good example is Gluten trading two late second round picks to get Christian Watson early in the second round. I'm pretty sure Christian Watson wasn't the #34 player on Gluten's draft board. Even at that, he didn't reach too far - and he desperately needed a WR. As for Love, nothing will convince me that it was anything but a huge reach. Gluten thought Rodgers was close to done, and so he thought he needed a QB. That he traded up makes it worse. I think Love would have gone somewhere in the second or third round. Most of us have different opinions on this. I respect yours, and hope you're right and Love turns into a great QB for GB. I just don't see it. [/QUOTE]
