If you need a MLB and you have three players ranked right near each other maybe you take the need.

But what I’m saying is

you NEED a LB and a DT

and at 15 you have Sean Weatherspoon, Brandon Spikes, Brian Price available and the Giants don’t feel any of those are top 15 prospects…

they should go in a different direction.

That’s what I mean by Best Player Available…

I guess I don’t mean it literally Best Player Available…

but let’s say the Giants have C.J. Spiller rated as their number 5 overall prospect (hypothetically) and he’s there at 15, but not a huge need. I think they should take him if he’s CLEARLY the best player available?

Make sense where I’m coming from that?

But lets face it, Reese has not taken a RB higher than the 4th round. And there are questions to whether he can take the punishment.

And the whole BPA thing is a little misleading. If Sam Bradford is there at 15, I am pretty sure the Giants are not going to take him. In the early rounds its BPA for your need positions. In the later rounds 3 or 4 on then its BPA.

Example: So say the Giants have 2 high priority needs, a MLB and a DT. Now If the giants have the 15th pick in the draft, and there is a QB rated 10th, a WR rated 14th,a MLB rated 16, and an DT rated 20. They are going to go with the MLB, because its a position of need, even though its not the highest rated, they are going to fill there needs based on which position is highest. Not the QB or the WR. The 2 choices are MLB and DT, based on who is rated higher out of those 2, thats who they chose.

They definitely take this approach in the first round. And most of the time in the 2nd round. 3-4 they try to fill some needs, but do take BPA. 5-7 is usually based on BPA.
