Lovin the BPA approach

With the signings of David, KK, Simmons, and Patten, we have positioned ourselves perfectly for a BPA approach in which we dont have a glaring, dire need pick in the first round. I love this approach because looking at our present team, the cornerstones of our team were all BPA picks. When we drafted Deuce McAllister, he was the BPA and had fallen through the draft to us late in the first round. When we drafted Will Smith, we had Grant and Darren Howard, but Smith was another BPA that had fallen into our laps. You could also argue that Jamaal Brown was a BPA pick. Reggie, although was the obvious pick, was certainly not a need and thus was a BPA pick. If we go BPA again, and grab some depth and some project players in the mid to late rounds, our draft will be the makings of something great.
