Convert Cam to WR. It's the only logical solution.

Nothing new here.. Pretty much the same things Gettleman's been saying since he got here.

[SOJA]

this is why Voth is an awesome writer, and the guys at the Observer are poo. 

 

 

That introduction was enough to show that he gets how to report on a team, unlike Joe Person who would have had a 10 second interview because he would have only asked about Cam's contract and Hardy

Can he play LT?

BPA for the team. 3-4 OLB may be most talented but not for the team

[L-TownCat]

Drop the P already, I want BA draft picks.  All BA, All day.

 

That means Bad Ass in case you didn't know.

Need influences what BPA for a team

[MadHatter]

Need influences what BPA for a team

 

If there are two equally graded players and one is of a position of need....you take the position of need.

 

If there are two players graded very closely and one is of need....you usually take the need.

 

If the position of need is graded many positions below another player....the need has no impact on the pick.

Every player we take is a player we need. If we didn't need him, we wouldn't take him. For example, if the BPA is a middle LB, we are going to pass on him (unless he is just as good at OLB). Same at OG. We don't need an OG.

Voth make it sounds like we only need WR, OT and DB. But we also need a great OLB to groom to take TDs spot (TD will be 32 next season, his retirement is around the corner). We need a DE. We need at least one good DT (we do a heavy rotation at DT and Colin Cole will be 35 next season and Dwan Edwards will be 34). We need a S to replace Harper and we need a CB (we play a lot of nickel and you want three really good CBs). We need an OT. As for center, I'm not sure how much longer we'll have Kalil. We need a RB. We need at least two receivers (WR and WR or WR and TE). There is no QB available we can upgrade at QB with. So basically we have a need at every position except QB, OG, probably C, and MLB

You draft him anyway.  That's how the Packers ended up with Aaron Rodgers.
