Re: Do You Draft for Need or Best Player Available?

I feel that if the best player available plays a position where depth isn't an issue, then TRADE DOWN, add picks, and draft someone to fill a greater need.
Well said. We have many positions of need and so it will be easy to draft the BPA at a position of need. Thinking this way also allows us to avoid situations where we come home from the draft with three TE's because they were the BPA's.
