Clogging talent is not a bad thing if that's what drafting a BPA is....can create trade bait too, as you might now move a player at the log jam position.
Keep on mind that some people might view a player as the BAP at the moment we pick and some people might not. When we say BAP you have to ask, in who's eyes? Who decide who's the BAP? Last year we wasted picks on a WR when we didn't need one. That after we were tole we were going to build thru the draft. You can't build thru the draft by wasting several picks on a 4th string WR. You build by drafting players that have a real chance to fill a hole. Our draft this year is already limited thanks to wasting those 3 and 4 round picks last year. Tbaum thinks this is madden but it's not. Keep the darn picks and use them to draft players that we actually need.
Ozzy rules!!
How exactly can you say those picks were wasted when Caroo is still technically in his first year with the team? What if Landrys demands in his next contract are totally outrageous, and he walks - having Caroo around might lessen the blow of losing him. I think it is a bit premature to label the acquisition of Caroo as wasted...yet.
I wasn't aware that a player's career epitaph was written AFTER their rookie season.
You are assuming a position IS overcrowded to begin with, and the theories casting shade on Carroo is anachronism at it's worst.
Sorry, that is an example of plain bad evaluation. They clearly did not pick BPA if the 2 picks were garbage.
Also. remember that "BPNA" still has a "Best Player" component. Milner and Greene? They were both at a position of "Need", but neither of them were The "Best Player" at the position of need
When people say BPA they never mean simply take the highest rated player on your board. Even the really good teams have what can reasonably be labeled needs at at least 5-6 positions. What you want to avoid is reaching based on need. Drafting is a multi-variable matrix where no phase can accurately reflect the correct approach completely. You have to consider a positions relative value, the players grade/eval, scheme fit, whether you can get that player the snaps to be worth drafting, talent ceiling, character, the depth of that postion in the draft and a host of other things. So of course you don't just go BPA. Tat said, you better be loading your roster with 24 carat talent when your picking rather than just filling a roster spot.
It's not about the player. It's about the trade. I have nothing against Carroo. He was pretty good in college and maybe one day he'll be a good NFL player but trading away picks to draft him when that was/is our strongest position made no sense at all. There's just no two way about it. He was a total luxury pick for a team that could not afford that luxury. People can spin it every way they want but the fact is the trade made no sense and it's already hurting us. We can really use those picks this week and Carroo is still a 4th string WR, not because he's bad but because who do you want to take away snaps from? Landry?, Parker?,Stiils?.......unless he plays ST's he's not even going to be active. If we had drafted him say in the 5th round and had given away no picks then fine but with all the holes we have you need every pick you can get so that trade did nothing for us last season, will do nothing this coming season and it's hurting our draft this year on top of it. Why is it so hard to just say that our FO messed it up?
