I always point to this draft as proof that we do not select BPA. There is no way anyone will ever convince me, that all that talent in the 2nd rd, wasn’t better than the Ruiz pick. Not buying. Sell that nonsense to someone else.
It's the point where they started chasing "need" with the first pick. We see the result. While the players taken aren't particularly bad, better choices were left behind. It's rare for BPA and need to line up. When it doesn't, you have to take the best player.
