Message: <blockquote data-quote="Heyjoe4" data-source="post: 1092687" data-attributes="member: 13032">"I hope we draft football players throughout."  "I hope we don't draft on upside."Addressing your first quote above, Gary was drafted, I think, based on his upside for pressures (sacks, hits, etc.).  He was a solid DE at Michigan, but not a sack machine by any means.  That didn't work out very well.  Gary was a solid DE, but only recorded DD sacks twice, and they were like 10 or 12, maybe 13.  And he appears to be fading after only his first contract.As for the second quote, sometimes the BPA doesn't address an immediate need, but is overall a solid football player.  That includes intangibles like leadership and being considered a good teammate.  That's one reason drafting is at least as much art as it is science.</blockquote>
