[QUOTE="sschind, post: 664712, member: 10247"] The very definition of "best" says this is not true. If a guy is the best no one can be as good as him. Yes they can have a best linebacker and a best lineman and a best TE but only one of them can be the best player. Where I think people get confused is that they insist that "best" in this case means just that. The best athlete, the best player, the best odds at being a success when in reality best also takes into consideration what is best for the team and in that case need has to factor in. How else do you explain Tunsil's fall? Was he not the BPA for at least 10 of the teams drafting in front of the Dolphins? I say at least 10 because some may have had Ramsey or someone else ahead of him but probably not more than 3 teams. He fell because at the time 10 of those GMs (Rams and Eagles already made up their minds) thought that he was not the best player for their team. Not that he wasn't the best player. So while he was still probably the best player available he wasn't the best for them. The whole idea of a GM having a ranking system where several guys have equal grades and you take the one of greater need was developed because people wanted to rationalize why the (the GMs) didn't adhere strictly to the BPA theory and seemed to be drafting for need which is something good GMs never do. In reality it was most likely always that way and it just took a while to figure out that BPA didn't mean the same to the GM as it meant to the media and the fans. [/QUOTE]
