BPA at Skill Positions or BPA at Positions of Need:

First off if we’ve learned anything about the draft, don’t reach, don’t pass up better talent for need, and no projects in the early rounds please. FA is for filling needs and the draft is about adding talent although I’d pass on RB for obvious reasons.. Bare in mind many believe a first round pick should be good enough to be a starter.

Ok Zoners just a reminder, I barely watch College Football so every year I depend on those of you that do to inform me of the best prospects. Based on all the college games you’ve been watching answer the next question please.

At 17 who is likely still there and who is Pure BPA:

WR-
QB-
CB-
S-
SS-
LB-
3-Tech-
1-Tech-
OT-
C-
G-

Pure BPA-


Please don’t get caught up in which positions are skill positions and which positions are those of need, thanks in advance....

Same for me, I watch all of Ohio State games, and parts of other big rival games, as well, the bowl games.
But other than the big names we hear every week, I don't get into all the players and where they are from.
I rely on a lot of info on here, which I been spending more time reading the past few days.

So I know the OSU players and some of their opponents, but will get info on here on others. I really like all the much drafts, as they vary and change but I can get a sense of what players most like. Good source of info on here.

I believe McCarthy already stated if its a solid football player this is how they will roll over player for need. He recently discussed this when comparing
Taco over Watt when the old regime was here. He stated that their philosophy was drafting for scheme fit. He said the new regime will draft the best football
player and make a place they will fit. In the Marinelli pick of Taco he looked at Taco as a DE he did not look at Watt as a DE that he insisted Watt is a LB.
I'm thinking what McCarthy was stating regardless if Watt was better than Taco he will make a spot for Watt and get him in the starting lineup.

I forgot to add

TE-
 
BPA, yes, but sometimes you have to factor in how a player, even the best guy on the board helps your team. If the BPA is a RB when the Cowboys are on the board, they should pass. Unless Zeke get hurt using a 1st round pick on a RB would create more problems then it would solve. But in most cases, BPA is the right move.

But if you're passing up RB's, you are not drafting BPA?

Do you know what BPA is? And how hard it is to determine?

That's what good coaches do. Get the best players you can and work around what that player does well.

Best Player Available. Is this a trick question? lol

They use some type of points system to determine it.

At this point I’ve stated I’d pass on a rb for obvious reasons, at least for 2020.

So I guess in that scenario I’m considering 2nd BPA...:D

For the most part, it's a guess, so there's just no way to determine BPA. For instance, Taco was BPA over TJ Watt.

Do you take the high risk high reward player over the safer bet, but w/ much less potential? Do you take the route runner or the speed demon at WR? The mirror guy or the press guy at CB? There really is no such thing as BPA, it's really sort of a myth.

I’d say it’s more a matter of consensus view. For Example, let’s say every QB in the league was a FA right. Most would say Mahomes is BPA followed by either Rodgers or Brady. If you watch enough college football, why is an analysis like that any different?

There are tiered favorites at each position. It’s not an exact science but if you’re a Pro Scout, it’s what you do. Anybody worth their salt has a list from BPA to scrub....
 
Of course it is points. Evaluate your own players and give them a grade. Evaluate the drafted player, they get a grade. Position gets a grade. Heck "other" gets a grade. Find the player that gives you the most upgrade points (points minus current player points) and pick him. Then that makes your talent as good as your evaluation. Then coaches add value to the talent and demand discipline and work ethic. Put in the correct coaches and exceptional talent evaluators and you have a championship team.
 
I dont get why we are stuck on DT when the FA class is loaded with them?
The FA class for CBs is poop. And expensive or old.
This is not how you run a team. You find a way to save money along the way not spend it all and not be able to resign your players..
Js think fellas
I would trade foe Calias Campbell aswell
 
DT
SS
maybe WR Denzel Mims
As much as I would love to see Kinglaw there at 17; I think he will be gone. Our coaching staff will take the highest rated CB, probably Henderson over the safeties because we also have two CBS that are free agents the following year. We have to wait and see how they approach free agency.
 
BPA will be an OT if I had to bet.

Probably wouldn’t feel great about taking another OLmen unless it was in a trade down and we were to add another pick.

I think there could he a big run on OT's in the top 15. You may even see alot of movement to get up into position to take an LT. As many as 4 All Pro caliber LT prospects in this draft. I would bet none make it to 17

And the lists are all different. Very very seldom is there a consensus BPA. Mahomes, for instance, was considered 2nd round talent by many. KC caught some flak for trading up to get him.

Yeah my Mahomes analogy is after the fact. As in dude just won a Super Bowl. Look as I said in the OP, I don’t watch much college ball. I depend on Zoners for college football analysis.

Those that watch a lot of college ball should have ideas as to who the Top prospects are. Just like those that watch the Pro’s now say Mahomes is BPA in my analogy.

Whatever, clearly nobody can fill in the positions I listed. If they could, we’d have a little board of our own...

Alas, The Zone has let us down this time...

Taco was BPA over Watt.
