[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 221822, member: 227"] I don't think Ted goes for strictly the BPA. I think our perceived needs influence Ted's decision quite a bit, at least in the early rounds. Looking at the Harrell pick, I've started to believe more and more of late that Ted picked Harrell because he was concerned about depth at DT. People might say I'm wrong because we had Jolly and Cole, but if you look at the time of the draft then I don't think Ted could've predicted how much Jolly would improve, and while Cole is solid, I don't think Ted and the staff thought of Cole as being more than a situational player. Same thing with AJ Hawk, I recall the only starting LB still on the team at the time was Barnett. Ditto for Greg Jennings, we traded away J-Walk, Ferggy was a bust, and Terrance Murphy was unlikely to play a snap in the NFL again. We had nothing after Driver. Similar thing with G Colledge and Spitz, we were coming off a season where our lack of starting talent at G became glaringly evident. Last year, we lost Ahman Green, and Ted went and chose B-Jack with the second round pick. We had Herron and Morency, but still needed someone. My point is that Ted astutely mixes need with BPA. If we have a glaring need at CB and a less intense need at TE, and if a TE that is rated higher than a CB is still on the board, then Ted will merge need with BPA and select the TE. So once again in this draft I expect to see Ted blend the two, in the early rounds at least. [/QUOTE]
