Is the BPA (best
player available) draft strategy really just BS? Yea, kind of. No one really
thinks that BPA can be applied sterilely in every situation. If that was the case, GMs would have to take
players that wouldn’t start or improve the make-up of their team. The extreme example
of a team with a franchise quarterback, like New England or Green Bay, taking a
quarterback over a top rated player in a position of need alone dispels sterile
application of BPA.
But the Godfather
Gettleman has reminded us over and over that is what Carolina plans to do, take
the best player available.
