Their skill sets need to fit your schemes. You can't do something ridiculous like drafting Jimmy Williams, playing him at safety, and moving Adam Archuleta to LB.

The draft is not about "maximizing talent." It's about players that can help your team maximize performance as a unit. Talent (as determined by the media) is not always the driver behind performance. You need fit first. Talent is secondary to fit.

that was a joke you OBVIOUSLY didn't get, since that's the second you've referenced it like that. where did i argue that finding players to fit your system is a bad thing? I've just said that flexibility in drafting is key, which for some reason you've taken up arms against.

I never said anything bad about mcintosh as a player and i'm not the only one that hated the price.
