That's exactly how teams get in trouble. If you only draft for need you'll end up taking a guy that's not highly regarded. Let's take Calais Campbell for example. Even though he's still on the board when we drafted TE Fred Davis, you have to trust that our coaches and scouts were pretty sure that his value wasn't good or as good at that point in the draft. What that really means is yes, we need DL help but, we can't draft Calais Campbell this high because we've checked him out thouroughly and feel that he doesn't have the tools to be drafted at this point. Later? Yes. Now? No. You see all the time how the best teams (teams who are better building through the draft) draft guys who seem to be reaches but actually fit well into what a team does.

As far as Moore goes. He's projects to be as good as Vernon Fox with some upside.

I've always had questions about BPA. What if you end up with nothing but positions you don't need? I mean suppose the Redskins originally planned to take Campbell at 51? If they could have gotten him at 48 and still gotten Davis or Kelly wouldn't it have been worth it?
