The argument for the Redskins to draft Chase Young is the argument for BPA

Winning organizations are built on a draft philosophy commonly referred to as BPA.

Best.

Player.

Available.

The idea behind BPA is that, when the team goes on the clock, the right decision is to draft the best player available.

People will point to flaws with the BPA strategy, but this year, the majority of NFL fans who have an opinion about the draft, and what the Redskins should do are either declaring themselves for “value” or “BPA”.

People who argue for value typically argue that the Redskins should do one of two things:

  • Draft Tua because quarterbacks are more valuable than other positions, due both to their huge impact on a team’s ability to win games, and the salary cap difference between a signal caller on a rookie contract and those on veteran free agent deals.
