Vinny's Draft Strategy: Best Player or Predetermined Agenda?

[Daseal]

God, all this Snyder bashing. Folks, we have no clue how much input Snyder has in the war room. I'm willing to bet that it isn't much. I feel like Snyder spends most of his days signing checks, then coming out to watch his favorite team. Even if Snyder is involved, especially in the 'first day picks' then he does a pretty damn good job. ST, Landry, Cooley (3rd was first day back then!), etc etc.

You have to make a smart plan. You won't see Indy sitting at the draft with an awesome QB available taking him. It's a mix of BPA and need. There are certain super-star players that you will almost always take, besides QB you typically want at least 2 very good players at every position. You need to weigh the players on your board with what you have on the team, making exceptions for exceptional players.

Canton. Calvin Johnson was picked 2nd overall.... Behind JaMarcus Russell.
