I think it was Rich McKay that used to talk about how when he was a GM they would almost always go for BPA. However in the process they would rule out certain positions, at least until certain points in the draft. So in the Saints example you would go into your meeting and say "alright, if we do end up drafting a QB it won't be until after the third round, if that."

I personally believe that BPA should be used in combination with selecting a need. However you should always try to supplement with free agency to avoid passing up a quality young player. Still if you have a position of need and a position thats not so pressing at the moment then I think it would be foolish to select that latter player assuming there was a rating difference of only 2 or 3 points. Still Vinny talks about how for the most part they will take the top rated player regardless, and to me that's part of the problem with our front office. That and our allergies towards selecting offensive lineman.

i agree with you but you have to admit we do have a pressing issue with o line and need to draft an oline man over anyone in the upcoming draft, in my opinion, which isn't worth much

Skins would be just fine with Bradford, but i think they will go after Brady Quinn instead

Claussen will be on the board well into the teens.

Taking him at #4 would be an asinine move.
