I've always thought the strategy can lead to issues with players wondering why they were even drafted and they aren't starting. Also, it can saturate a team with players they may not actually need right away. I guess it helps your team accumulate talent that could help your team in some way. If you consistently draft BPA, at what point are team needs filled? I feel like some FO draft by BPA and they wind up hurting the prospects overall development. 

Also, do you think a teams overall success should determine if they adopt the BPA strategy? I think that if a team is consistently winning and can effectively retain talent, they can draft by BPA because they aren't really hurting anywhere per se. On the other hand, if a team is losing and has several holes, BPA may not help them if a running back is the BPA, but they have a stud currently starring at the position. Say for instance they draft the running back anyway. Is that a good or bad thing?

Whats your take on BPA? Do you think BPA helps the Ravens become a winning franchise again after 2 losing seasons? 8-8 is average and a losing season in a lot of people's view of a teams overall success.

Desmond king said he had the best meeting with the Ravens! And he's also willing to move to Safety! http://teamstre.am/2jPn9og

 

Desmond King willing to play safety, thinks Ravens are perfect fit 

I think King or Sutton out of Tennessee would be awesome picks if they happen to fall to the 3rd round. Only way we take them in the 2nd is if we can't get the edge rusher we want when it's time to pick. We can have either of them learn how to play safety behind Weddle and when Webb becomes a cap casualty or retires, we can just plug them right in. We need to start drafting guys with ball skills, speed and the size we covet while we have veterans who can and are willing to teach them how to play the position. Lesley Frazier still being here would have obviously accelerated their translation from college to the NFL, but I think we draft either of them and have them study. 

With regards to our first pick, Quincy Wilson out of Florida needs to be our first pick regardless of the available running backs on the board when we pick. Our second round pick needs to be a pass rusher if one is available, if not draft another defensive back, King or Sutton. We had the slowest secondary in the entire NFL last season and we need speedsters with ball skills back there. I'm not under valuing tackling because you obviously need a sure tackler, but ball skills are hard to teach and speed can not be taught.
