This is ideal in theory but I have doubts about whether a team can ever completely separate talent from need. It lined up for the Hawks to take a CB and slot WR because we also needed talent there. The value you get from drafting players only comes if you are playing them, and there are finite numbers of players needed at each position.
How hard did we really look at the tackles this year, after hitting on two rookies last year and having promising depth with Curhan and Forsythe?
Would we have still taken JSN if Eskridge had been a hit with 1000 yards out of the slot last season?
Could the Eagles have taken any QB prospect at #9 after paying Hurts this off-season?
There's been a clear path for each of the players the Hawks have drafted the last two seasons to see playing time. If we were really out there going pure BPA then it wouldn't line up that nicely and we would have seen things like OT Anton Harrison at 20, FS/DB Brian Branch at 37, WRZ Rashee Rice at 52, or OLB Nick Herbig at 123. Even the two RBs we drafted fit clear needs replacing Penny and Homer.
