I guess I don't know who you are talking to or arguing with then. nc0gnet0 is the only one that spoke in absolutes that I can see. But whatever, carry on.
I guess the context of the discussion escapes you. Take what I said out of context and of course it looks ridiculous. You made a statement, and I paraphrase, K.White was the best player available. In which the implied meaning was that because he was the BPA (which is another argument, but has no relevance in this argument), therefore he must have been a good pick for the bears.
To which I replied:
"BPA is a myth"
Given the context of the discussion, my comment was intended to rebut your opinion that he was a good pick for the Bears. Pickles got it. I am sure others did is well. I even further clarified what I meant when asked by Bearden.
Long Story short, whether or not K. White was the BPA, doesn't matter. IMO he was not the right direction for the Bears to take at that time. Simply taking the BPA every time is stupid. Successful franchises have a blueprint and a draft strategy. It combines yes drafting BPA when that player is a position of need, Trading down and acquiring additional picks when the needs are many and the BPA is not a position of need, and even taking a player that is not the BPA when he is in fact the BPA in a position of great need for that team. I was never talking in absolutes, I was in fact doing the opposite.
Now if you want to get into an argument based on semantics , go ahead.
