[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 476236"] I don't. I made no attempt to define "drafting for need" nor would I ever argue there are only the two draft models. I've simply argued that TT does not draft the "best player available" without qualifications. [B][B][/B][/B] This is pretty much the way I characterized it, except for one thing. TT might call it BPA, but that is not what it is, and I'm sure most fans don't understand BPA that way, as evidenced by current and past debates I've had on this subject. I've seen many quotes from TT when asked about his upcoming draft strategy and he pops the one liner...BPA. Clearly, that is not something to take a face value. If you can find a quote where TT qualifies BPA in the way you describe, I'd like to see it. Then I can nip this debate in the bud next time I'm foolish enough precipitate it. I guess I have not made my point clear enough. I don't necessarily disagree with TT's draft approach, though I've disagreed with some picks. What I have trouble with is fans and reporters taking "best player available" one liners at face value and claiming need is not a factor. Since we've now established we're in agreement in principle, I'll only ask this question. If TT had Hayward with a 1st. round grade, why would he he wait to trade up to the 62nd. pick to take him? Why not the 55th. pick, or the 45th.? I would consider that either the rumor is an exaggeration or other more pressing needs were under consideration. Probably the former. [B][B][/B][/B] Again, we've already agreed in principle, but this is not BPA. I already argued that trading down is more consistent with BPA than trading up anyway. [/QUOTE]
