[QUOTE="Bobby Roberts, post: 221827, member: 260"] I think you're right about his first couple of drafts, but mostly because the depth on the team sucked at that point. He had no choice but to address major needs, especially since he wasn't using FA to fill most of those needs. As for the Harrell pick though, I still don't see him as a 1st round need pick. You didn't mention the fact that Williams was playing great, Cole was solid/improving and Pickett was a stud. Sure Jolly was unknown, along with some other guys, but DT was probably our strongest/deepest position. Harrell was the BPA at that point, irregardless of position (as determined by TT) and he therefore added the quality depth. Unfortunately, due to injuries, we needed that depth. As for the Jackson pick, I think TT had the idea that we needed help at RB, but Jackson wasn't a reach. That is the key. You may have some needs, but don't reach for players based on needing to fill holes. Sherman did that several times and it cost us picks to trade up, along with reaching for players to fill holes. Almost filling out a checklist while shopping. So, yes I recognize that TT does look at needs for the team while drafting, but it's likely because it's very difficult to have a perfect running list of the players in order of BP. By the 2nd round, there are likely about 10 guys or more worthy at the time you're picking. If you determine that those 10 are essentially equal in value, then pick the one that will most valuable to the team. This may be what you're referring to with the mixing of need with BPA. GO PACK GO!!! [/QUOTE]
