Why BPA leads to success, while 'drafting for need' is a short-sighed and failed strategy in the NFL
I want to start by acknowledging that I am a hypocrite
After six years of participating in Hogs Haven discussions, I am now guilty of writing comments and articles where I openly discuss drafting to fill voids in the team’s roster — a practice known as “drafting for need”.
I will spend most of this article sneering at the concept of drafting for need, and then — tomorrow, or later this week — I will come back with a comment or article in the where I say that the Redskins should target a specific position in the draft — maybe going so far as to say what round I think they should draft the position in. People will remember what I wrote in this article and say, “see, he doesn’t believe it!”
