The philosophy of finding an NFL QB.

Thank you.  I don't think my system is convoluted though, just more complex.

No its convoluted.  Cause it is first and foremost a rating system based on what position the player plays, than based on teams needs, and then finally based on BAP, yet you call it BAP.

My system doesn't necessarily give you the best 25, but it should give you the best 53.  That's what I'm shooting for.

I agree you should be shooting for the best 53.  But you are only replacing starters  in one or two rounds.  If there is a guard that is better than NEP second best guard, NEP is better off drafting him than upgrading Hoyer in round 2.   

Once we are past the point of drafting guys who could start.  We start doing analysis of which would help the team more....adding this WR and dropping our 5th best WR or adding this RB and dropping our 4th best RB or adding this linebacker and dropping our 7th best linebacker or adding this QB and dropping our current backup QB.   

This is the way to build the best 53, IMHO.

I disagree.  In my opinion BAP takes position into consideration.  How can you decide "best" without taking into consideration the position they play?  BAP IS a positional as well as talent level determination.  You combine the talent level of the player with his ability to impact the game to determine "best".  That's what Mel does in my opinion.

Then after BAP you're looking at need, but BAP is still the most important factor, not need.

Agreed, but this is done in pre-season, not during the draft.  In the draft you're just trying to get what you think are the best group of guys you can get.  After the draft there's a free agent period where there is no draft position so it's easier to target specific guys you want and go after them.  After that you have preseason where you start to evaluate the talent you have on your roster.  There are ALWAYS surprises.  A guy who you thought was going to be a camp casualty is suddenly your 2nd best WR (Bess).  A guy you thought would make a huge impact gets hurt (Odrick).  These things effect your "need" and these things CANNOT be anticipated, so you don't try, you simply deal with them the best you can as they come up.
