[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 476148"] Your first comment makes no sense. If you see a need, and you do not expect the players best suited to fill that need to be left on the board, it would make sense to trade up to fill that need. If anything, trading up supports the "need" argument. A habit of trading down would better support a BPA argument...nobody on the board represents good value for that pick, regardless of need, so you stockpile picks where there is likely to better value per pick regardless of need. BPA means you never take a guy who isn't the highest graded player on your board, regardless of position or need. It also means that if you trade up, it is not because you're considering need; it is because you see a player that represents remarkable value regardless of position. If you define it another way, then it is not "best player available" and you should not use that term. I don't see where any of our high picks other than Nelson would have represented a significant market inefficiency being exploited. It confounds me when people don't see the "need" elements in TT's drafts, starting with Aaron Rodgers, continuing through Hawk/Hodge, on to Raji, and through Bulaga, Sherrod and Perry. And I will reiterate...I did not like the Perry pick at the time it was made, I've found no reason to change my mind, and from a BPA standpoint it was a reach given the risks in converting a guy who is a 4-3 DE and who clearly indicated he wanted to play 4-3 DE. He even added weight for the Combine to make his point. But heck, we NEEDED a guy. [/QUOTE]
