Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 475618">The point being that need is an operative concept in the Thompson calculus, which renders "best player available" a somewhat meaningless term. Getting good value while filling needs is everybody's objective; everybody reaches from from time to time to fill a glaring need (Perry). Draft success boils down to player evaluation and then coaching...putting the right grade on players to get good value, whether or not trade-up or trade-down is involved, and then coaching them into the system. Thompson said he "went crazy" with his pick trading for an all-defense draft. I don't think so. It's one thing to have an ideal in mind...best player available regardless of need...and quite another to face practical realities.</blockquote>
