[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 811523, member: 2846"] I know that during the TT years they went strictly BPA. At each pick there would be several players equally rated. A debate would sometimes occur with nobody knowing for sure till TT pulled the trigger. Why cant there be 2 guys who are equally good or 8 guys for that matter? Selecting one of them doesnt make one better than the other. The board has to be dynamic based on how the draft unfolds. 2 obvious reasons players are rated: planning and trades. Planning: As the draft falls, our pick may change. Suppose we have 8 players rated as 6.4 and 5 are left at our NO pick 32. The next teir, 12 players are at 6.3 and one will be there at 2.12. Knowing we are getting a 6.3 and a 6.4, you may select different positions. We may want a 5T and a S with these picks and there is only 1 S but 4 DEs in 6.3 teir. Therefore, we take a S at 1.32 knowing we have a better shot at a DE at 2.12 than a safety. Or what if we have a single BPA at 1.12 an OLB and we take him. We probably dont want another with either our next 2 picks. The other reason to rate is Trades. You cant evaluate a trade unless you understand the quality of player you can expect to get at the picks in play. [/QUOTE]
