Best player available should be the motto for the 2018 draft.

There is no area of the team that could not use an infusion of talent. (well maybe place kicker)

Whether the coaches can take advantage of that talent is for another thread.

No projects in rounds 1-4

round 1 criteria is league ready and not donning a cast. (MC reference)
 
If BPA at pick 19 is a RB or Center, I would trade down, unless the drop off is miniscule to the player on tne board (so in the same tier)

There is no BPA RB that is going to be there at 19.

Center maybe but you have to figure everyone view centers as guys who can also play G.
 
I think BPA is too simplistic. I believe in the modified version which is BPA at a position of need. Unless the position of need has no one worth near the draft slot of course. A team must be good all over versus great here and there.

Yes you need talent across the board.

But this team regardless of what some here believe Dallas has major holes on both sides of the ball.

Someone noted we are good at center so add that to the kicker and punter but Dallas
needs line talent on both sides, a running back, DB's, linebackers, TE, you name it.

And though Dak is young he needs competition to get better or get pushed out the door.

I agree, BPA is way to simplistic. IMO, it takes grading what you have, positions of need, physical traits, head and heart, tape, attitude, position grade, history, etc. It would be very complicated and yet fairly easy, but would require excellent subjective grading.

The whole key to BPA is grading them right. Head and heart are hard to judge but extremely important
If you can determine who loves the game and is willing to do what ever it takes to be the best player he can be, you got yourself a player

I believe BPA is the correct way to draft.
If the BPA is at a position that won't upgrade what's already on the roster you trade down and take that BPA.

What if BPA would get you from a current player that grades out at 88 and BPA gets you to 90, but you have a position of need that grades out current at 65 and the BPA for that position nets you an 89? Do you still draft BPA when the current gain is 2 pts when a small drop to another player gains you 24 pts?

This is why I don't understand the total BPA approach. You have greatness at one position, but end up with a position that every other team knows to attach because it is weak........

matt millen worshiped at the altar of BPA and look where that got him. Picking 3 WRs in four years. ALL were pretty much considered BPA's at the time by most
