[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 762005, member: 2846"] BPA is rarely a QB. They almost always get over-drafted because they are so important. I finally figured out why some posters here don't believe the Packers use BPA. I was in a discussion with someone the other day when it dawned on me. They thought the Packers big board is a ranking of 200+ players sequentially. That #5 is a better player than #6. No NFL teams do this, only websites. It's impossible, inefficient, and erroneous. What they do is score each player individually. Area scouts start the score and then it gets adjusted by coaches, medical, Sr. Bowl, interviews, research, and the combine. Check this out: [URL="http://Www.powerhousegm.com/blog/nfl-draft-prospect-grading-systems"]Www.powerhousegm.com/blog/nfl-draft-prospect-grading-systems[/URL] At no time does the staff all sit down and say okay, Edmunds is #10, now who should be #11? Can you imagine? It would take a week to get the top 30 done. And then, how do you compare with current team and future drafts? How could you evaluate trades if you don't understand the relative value of what you are giving or getting? Not sure why I'm under this impression, but I believe the Packers use an 8.0 scale, closer to the first one discussed in the link. At least they did under wolf.
