How much does a crappy team affect your Draft decisions? (1 Viewer)

[4th&26]

It's one thing to draft a guy on talent and upside alone, if that was the case SJax would be a top 3 pick. But how far does a guy like SJax fall on your draft board because of his crappy team, how far does Deangelo fall because of the RBBC in Carolina?

I've seen SJax as high as #5 RB and as low as #12 ! Obviously there are some strong bias here.

I know this may be a roster question but here's a scenario non the less: you have on your roster:

Gore

SJax

Calvin

Roddy White

SJax is a top 10 guy and has no RBBC!! but because of his situation (terrible team, crappy o-line, 8-9 guys in the box, rookie QB, etc...) do you take that chance or keep a guy like Roddy and hope to pick up another RB in the 4th such as a:

Ryan Grant,

Forte,

Pierre Thomas,

to me this is a tough call, your thoughts?

Dodds had a subscriber column back on 7/20 entitled "Eliminate the Suck" that somewhat addresses this.

He has 10 rules of suck that he evaluated the top 300 on.

Easy decision for me. Drop SJax, keep the other 3, and draft Grant or P.Thomas if you can get them.
