What is your draft philosophy?

[baj1dallas]

Take a guy that will be able to contribute to your team. Now or later.

And also, I believe it is a law of nature that whoever Detroit drafts, is going to suck, so there's no use getting excited about it.

In a nutshell, my draft philosophy is to draft pro-bowlers in every round of the draft.

Yep, that's about it.

High Character Leader Type.

Must have the physical requirements size, height, speed.

Productivity in college, no players with lots of "potential" but no production.

Pick for needs but don't reach. If you need OL help but all the OL available is 2nd round or later talent, don't pick them in the first round.

Mine is to trade down and get extra picks, use them wisely to build depth; and after you've built a solid but unspectacular group that plays consistently well, then go for the big ticket players to put you over the hump.
In general, build your D-line first so that know one can run all over you, then add pass rushers
Secondly, build your O-line and a RB to consistently move the chains and then worry about the receivers and the qb last.

But the main point is to stay away from safetys and tight ends in the first three rounds, unless you have everything else you need.

The truth be told you never know how any of these players will do THIS year much less 2 or 3 years down the road. What you have to do is judge things like athleticism, instincts and coachability when trying to figure how they will do 2 or 3 years down the road. You look for those signs of upside just like you look for the signs of how they played the position in college. It just requires a better scouting department and more research to dig a little deeper to find out these things.

YOu usually can just go with BPA and be fine. If you are a really bad team, chances are alot of players are at a positon of need, so that works out.

OLB, OLB, OLB.

There are tons of them, I think we can get a rediculous playmaker to go along side of Ware whether it be Lawson or Carpenter.
