Why take an immediate need when we aren't in immediate contention for anything next year? We aren't one need away from winning it all. I think taking the BPA helps the team in the long term. We're looking at a 2-3 year rebuilding process if we're truly stuck with Clausen. We'll need a QB next year, and that player will need at least a sophomore season to really contend for us.

Ok, how does BPA help the team in the long term?

gives you flexibility in rotation and trading. see: ryan kalil and dan connor. the former allowed us to get rid of justin hartwig at no expense and the latter saved our asses when thomas davis got injured.

Because we fill needs later in the draft and through FA, but with a pick like #1 OVR, you're better off taking the BPA. Especially someone like AJ Green, when you consider Steve Smith and where he might or might not be in the next few years. Bowers has bad tape and Fairley gives cheap shots on the field. Both of them just kind of randomly popped up, and who knows how great they are (Bowers definitely not comparable to Peppers coming out of the league, Fairley not comparable to Suh or even McCoy).

Green's supposed to be "the next Calvin Johnson." Why would that NOT help us out in the next few years? Look what it's done for Detroit.

I see.

Eta: So do we trade the BPA if he isn't needed & hope the trade will be for a need?

      Are all veterinarians this greedy ?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Like a lot of things in today's economy, market concentration is a huge issue in the vet space. Mars (yeah, the chocolate company) owns roughly half of them with their control of Banfield and VCA as well as numerous smaller chains. Oh, and all that Royal Canon food the vets are prescribing and recommending? Yeah, that's owned by Mars too. Don't even get me started on the racket that is "prescription" dog food and how incredibly uneducated the average vet is on basic pet nutrition. Back to the actual clinics... private equity ghouls who care about literally nothing but profit own another 30%. Now you're down to roughly 20-25% of clinics that aren't under the thumb of Mars or private equity.

      By CRA · Posted

      like any profession, a lot of them are very greedy and balloon up bills.  My buddy is a vet.   When he was first starting out he had BIG issues with the vet he was employed with because he was expected to drive up bills.    He now owns his own practice driven by that very reason.  Good man that wants to sleep good at night....doing what he set out to do at a young age (with the same reason in mind, to help animals and people).  But per him, a HUGE % of small animal vets are just gouging the f out of people.  like most things, I want the most mom and pop variety I can find.  The bigger practice, like most businesses, it more likely is owned and operated to make as much money as possible at the end of the day.
