BPA is a lie and I wish we'd stop talking about it like there's a universal power ranking for the draft class. It's meaningless because "best" and "need" are both highly subjective team by team. Most media big boards had Fletcher Cox ahead of Luke.

The good teams have the luxury of low stakes picks and incrementally upgrading the roster because they don't really have needs. The bad teams have needs at critical positions that are hard to draft, as we well know. 

so sure we can draft BPA we have done it before on numerous occasions & as a result had some of the best drafts in franchise history .

& like this team just  thought they had absolutely no other choice but to  draft a WR with the first pick last year & then what happens we sign (UDFA ) a WR who might wind up being better than that WR we though we had to trade up into the 1st round to draft 

building quality football teams takes alot of patience & a rookie edge rusher is not going to fix this team what is going to fix this team is talent/BPA  patience & making good decisions...just saying

If they go Walker at 4.... trade Moton for their 2nd rd pick. 

Then hit up the Giants who will likely draft Carter and rumor is shopping Thibodeaux and trade a 3rd.

Seems too simple..

Yes BPA is a myth. Certain positions will always be weighted. 

 

Plus, every NFL team says the prospect that they draft was the BPA at the time of the pick. I’ve never once heard a GM say “We liked player _____ more, but player _____ filled more of a need. It’s a pointless exercise
