Don't ignore value.

[Dustin]

This isn't directed to anybody here obviously, but just one of my philosophies for the draft. Basically BPA.

 

• The 49ers entered this off-season "stacked" at ILB. So much they were looking to trade a guy who started a bunch of games last year. As of now it's arguably their biggest need. 

 

• Last off-season the Colts were "stacked" at WR and then when the mid-point of the season came round, they couldn't get any WRs open on short or intermediate routes. 

 

What am I getting at with these two examples? Don't ignore value. If there's a guy ranked high on your board and he falls into your lap, don't hesitate to take him. This is why I'm not opposed to the Colts taking a CB in the first round if players like Peters, Darby, or Johnson are available. Don't pass on premier talent because you seemingly don't need that position at the moment. What seems like a strength today can be the weakness of your team tomorrow.

Not sure why this has to be explained every year, but it does.

Agreed.  Even if that person is a RB    QB is the exception -- try gain value through trade in that case.

You had to go and ruin it lol

RB is a need. Imo, it shouldn't be ignored in a talented draft class JUST because we signed a 32 year old back.

I think I just I read your quote that said:

"Not sure why this has to be explained every year, but it does." I think your quote fits what you just quoted on as well
