Post #227 says you shouldn't draft someone you don't like, and you should draft someone you do like. Post #229 says its ok to draft someone you don't like, as long as you have the structure in place, and especially if its a QB.
Post #227 makes sense to me. Post #229 does not make sense to me. Post #227 directly contradicts Post #229.
Please elaborate.
227 doesn't articulate the full point regarding when it might make sense to take a flyer on someone you don't like because onebud wasnt asking about that scenario.
Instead onebud raised Cutler as an example of taking a player regardless of structure so my response to him in 227 was focused on his actual post which was different from the point being made in 229 which was more directly related to the original point airtime and I were discussing.
Does it confuse you that my response would be different based on the post I am responding to. If it helps, the questions I asked him in 227 are essentially answered 229 because reason I could possibly see for not taking the guy you have rated higher in favor of a QB is as 229 explains and my posts stated, you have a structure in place to overcome the flaws you see in the lower rated prospect at a position you deem to be of greater importance.
That doesnt mean I personally support doing that. That means in addressing airtime's suggestion that the Bears take a flyer on a QB they aren't sold on, I could at least see the logic if we had people with a record of developing QBs and/or an offense conducive to a young QB. We don't.
