SMs mentor, Ted Thompson adamant about not drafting for need

No doubt. If you have not already - watch that special. The thoughts in hindsight are kind of like your analogy. The 49ers at the time were fixated with their 3rd round pick - Giovanni Carmazzi - who Walsh & others were convinced might be the next Montana. He was a workout star & wowed them in tryouts. Brady - on the other hand - was a disaster in these situations. However - Carmazzi had no presence even in preseason games & flamed out early. Just goes to show that you can't always tell about these guys.

This is pretty consistent with your analogy.

I'm sure you'd also agree that this is also good dating advice.

This is kind of like asking out one '10' as opposed to taking multiple shots with 7, 8, and 9s. You not only increase you chances in landing who you want, but you sometimes later figure out that the '10' you were shooting for is really a 7.5 and those 8s are really 9s.

You feelin' me
