[QUOTE="TJV, post: 552840, member: 4300"] In both cases IMO it provides evidence and that’s how I presented it; of course not as proof, but as evidence. And because Thompson so cherishes draft picks, IMO when he trades up it is [I]almost[/I] always need-based. Something that provides more evidence is how Thompson values positions. Like many of you – and some of the “experts” I view safety as the number one need on the team. But that does not mean I expect Thompson to use a first round pick on one. For example, I think it’s pretty clear Thompson views DL and CB as much more valuable than safety. That’s why I hope Thompson spends a pick on a safety [I]within the first three rounds[/I]. With regard to the Rodgers pick being more value or more need based, the fact that QB is the most valuable position on any team is more evidence that it wasn’t a need based pick. (Evidence, not proof.) IMO we would have likely heard, either from Thompson or the teams whose pick he was trying to move up to, if he had been trying to trade up to take Rodgers. I certainly DID NOT introduce the phrase "best player available". I believe I introduced the phrase best [B][I]VALUE[/I][/B] available to this board, to refute the idea of BPA. I don’t claim to have invented it as I attributed it to someone else. [/QUOTE]
