The only caveat I have 4 best player available isn't really a caveat. But best player available applies not only to the drafted prospect but to the players on your own team. Meaning if the player you have on your team is better than the player that's available in the draft then that player cannot be the best player available because he's not better than the player that you currently have. But for me that is the only caveat the best player available.

It means we have popular solutions to other questionable spots on the defense.
So we can "afford" to take a CB in the first round.

At this point I view the draft like a lot of others on the Warpath.
We need to pick defense in the first round.
The priority that lies therein is debatable, understandably so.
If we get a hot shit corner back then its all cool.

So if we draft Eli Apple I wont yell WTF in my living room when we make the pick and my wife will scold me.
