Totally tracks w/ his picks in prior years as well: traits first, production in CFB a distant 2nd (or even 3rd).

I do agree that there's no way Bill Polian would have taken AR. AR's accuracy issues would have been much too big of a red flag for Bill.
If you have read BP's book, and in particular his philosophy on drafting QB's there is way more into it than that. There is quota on starts, completion pct., was the QB a captain, etc etc. How in the hell does the entire Colts regime, not follow a HOF GM's rules and principles?
