The case for BPA all day

[bandu]

ok class welcome to roster building 101.

you address your WANTS in FA

then you get what you NEED in the draft which is the BPA.

[fortyrod]

I prefer BPAF(or)U(s), which means fix the lines. Maybe safety after round 2-3 if someone good drops. Everything else is good enough for now and the draft isn't going to fix Cams shoulder, which is the real question mark. Obviously, if you have to reach and can't trade, you fall back to BPA or maybe steal someone you think a division rival needs.

[JARROD]

Nothing would surprise me.

if we went WR and TE early then so be it.

so then I would assume WR TE OG/C and DE or CB first 4 picks as BPA.

 

[Waldo]

Once we get through FA and the combine, BPA becomes an option or a luxury that we may not be able to afford. We will see either way.

Think this draft is going to be defensive minded, early and often. exception might be a first round ot if one fits the grade.

That's how you bypass an Aaron Rodgers, though.

Or reach for a QB like a Blaine Gabbert or a Christian Ponder. If there is an Aaron Rodgers type sitting at the 16th pick then yes. I just don't see any in this draft. There's one, maybe two QBs that would be "ok" value at 16 in this one. There are 7-8 DEs and 4-5 DTs that would be great value at 16 though - and likely day one starters. Any QB drafted this season wouldn't even have a chance to start until week 16, at best. And that's assuming that Cam's arm has literally fallen off of his body and Ron can't duct tape it back.

Supposedly Tepper said we were going to be aggressive in the Free Agent market.  Hopefully, Hurney doesn't take it as spend the money like a fool.  However, if we can address most of our weaknesses through free agency than BPA throughout the draft is not a bad idea.

It really depends on how well we do in Free Agency.

Can we draft a coach?

Same

Early defense minded as in 1st round.  Only one I dont see them look is LB.  Rivera likes LBs who can cover.  See TD, Luke, and Shaq coming out.  White is a Stud, BUT a liability in coverage he showed this year.

I think we hit OL hard right after.  In the 2nd and/or 3rd.  They seem to have mentioned really needing to fix the OL, and there is Real good value there

 

Now they trade down, itd be hard to pass up a OL OR even a TE in the bottom of the 1st.  This TE class is being overshadowed by the DL/edge guys.  But this TE class rivals the one with OJ Howard, Njoku, Evan Engram, And Kittle.  Its stacked. 

I love this Hockenson kid, he's Gronk 2.0, but the rest of the class has some STUDS

Also this WR class is probably one of the better ones in awhile.  With DK Metcalf possibly going as high as top 5.  Dude has been cleared by doctors from his neck injury that made him miss this year.  But he is rumored 6'4 230 and running in the low 4.4s.  Also have Antonio Browns cousin at Oklahoma who is going to be a low 4.3 guy and people say reminds of a young Deashawn Jackson coming out.

Not reading this thread but the BPA at 16 might be Deandre Baker and if so they need to sprint to the podium to turn in that pick
