[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 476150, member: 4199"] I don't see it supporting the "draft for need" argument. I think part of "drafting for need" is being thrown around too much. When you have the 15th pick and you draft a tight end that your board says is the best tight end but is only the 72nd best player in the draft, because you need a tight end, you have drafted for need and screwed yourself. If you're drafting 15th, need a corner, and you have 3 choices you'd be happy making at 15 and one of them is a corner, you haven't drafted for need (by my definition). Minor nit, but important IMHO. Now, I argue that drafting up isn't necessarily 'drafting for need.' Consider the Heyward pick (pretty sure we traded up for him.) We got him at #62. If Thompson put a grade on him of 30th best player, he's crapping his pants because, OMG, he's still there. Trading up is getting great value for the pick, not necessarily picking to fill a need.
