Arians: Drafting for need will get you fired

Arians said he doesn’t believe in drafting for need, saying he’d rather strengthen an already strong position than reach for a player just because of the position he plays.

“You can’t draft for need,” Arians said, via the Tampa Bay Times. “If you draft for need, you get fired. You take the best player. If you got two players, now you’ve got three of them. Just take the best player available. Now if you’ve got four players right there together and one of them is a need? That’s a home run.’’

Why are we posting Bruce Arians quotes like he's a draft guru?

Are we going to start quoting Gruden too?

Because need vs BPA is an interesting topic, and relevant on draft day.

Plus it contributes more to the discussion than just b-tching and whining about what someone else posts.

Arians is also in the division now, so knowing what our division opponents are thinking is useful.

FYI I've seen countless threads the last several weeks derailed because of this from you.

Nah.

There's a difference between disagreeing with what someone posts and whining that they posted it.

You could at least try to contribute something of substance, you know. I realize that's a lot to ask...

Absolutely.

Mind you, in these comments, I think he went a little extreme trying to get his point across. I seriously doubt he'd ever go four deep at one position.

I think you underestimate just how "off" this board gets by b*tching about other people's comments.

      Derek Carr Retires

      By fanpanther · Posted

      D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured.

      I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.

      I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
