“With the second pick, we’re going to take the best player,” Gettleman told the team’s official website. “They screamed at me in Carolina, ‘You’ve got to draft a tackle, you’ve got to draft a tackle.’ If the value’s not there when you pick, you’re going to make a mistake. You’ll make a mistake. We’re going to set ourselves up so that we can take the best player available. And if the best player available is a quarterback, then that’s what we’re going to do.”

 

So Cargo Shorts blames everyone else at the organization for picking Vernon Butler?.....Kony Ealy? Shaq? triple dipping CBs in 2016? Does make you wonder that JR was pulling the strings I guess, but I'm ready to watch him pull some Gettlemagic with that #2 pick, BPA? If he doesn't take Fitzpatrick, Orlando Brown or Barkley over a QB here, I'll bump this thread and hand out pie to all! 

I agree with his strategy. Doesn't mean that he doesn't whiff on some picks though.

Per the report, when the OC interviews to replace Chudzinski were done, Gettleman wanted us to hire Pat Shurmur.  Of course, we know that didn't happen.  Rivera chose Mike Shula instead.

Quote

Gettleman said he has followed Shurmur’s career and almost hired him for an offensive coordinator’s position when he was the GM with the Carolina Panthers.

The article is quoted above.  Says he almost hired him not that he wanted him over Shula.

BPA is a pretty solid strategy unless you cut everyone on the roster at a particular position leaving you desperate to replace every single person in that position group...but I'm sure Gettleman would never do something that idiotic then wonder why he's being pressured to replace that position in the draft.

Ever since Seifert was canned, our drafting process has ALWAYS included the inputs of our head coaches, and coordinators.

My question is?  Who defined his list of BPA?  Star I get, Short I get but there were far better players taken after KB, Shaq, Butler and even CMC (however I like the CMC pick)

no he didn't... so again your scenario is meaningless...and consistent
