Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 476564">It most certainly does. But you expect the words...in this case "best player available"...to suggest what is meant. You don't call an "apple" a "banana" just 'cuz the one in your hand happens to be yellow. Once need is introduced into the equation, "best player available" doesn't make sense, or at least it begs the question, "best for what?" Best for me, best for my needs or best regardless of who I am or what I need? I don't think what you presented is what TT does, or what anybody does, which goes to the point of why "best player available" is a bad term...it is misleading. Then again, I would argue TT means to be misleading, or at least non-disclosing. 8.0 players are not jumped on over 7.0 players in a vacuum, independent of other factors. A team averaging 6.5 players is preferred if the talent is balanced across positions than a 7.5 team loaded at a few positions and bankrupt at others.  The addage, "you're only as strong as your weakest link" is overused and often exaggerated, but it goes to the point. The tiered approach to grading and draft board construction, talked about in several posts above, makes too much sense, certainly more sense that BPA, to not be seriously considered. The key to draft success over the long term is getting x.x players at positions in the draft that have an x.x - 0.5 grade, while picking up a quality QB and some playmakers along the way.</blockquote>
