Well, we got to see a different draft philosophy this weekend than what we have seen in a long time.
Marvin’s drafts were heavily tilted towards BPA and as a result we did wind up with talented players, but also wound up with players who despite talent did not fit our system (whatever it was - lack of schematic identity was also a Marvin thing) and we got more than our share of head cases.
In this first draft at least, ZT seemed to be ignoring BPA and instead looking for pieces he felt were needed to implement his plan for the team - particularly on offense. There was an emphasis on blocking and line play over the skill positions. Yes they traded up to get Finley but there it was a combination of Finley fitting their system and also probably not wanting to see Jeff Driskel under center ever again :)
