[QUOTE="TJV, post: 651274, member: 4300"] Of course, it’s axiomatic that drafting a good/great player at a position of lesser or even little need is better than drafting a poor or disappointing one at a position of greater need, isn't it? And if there’s a player clearly from a higher talent tier at #27, Thompson will “have” to take him or get a good deal to trade down. (BTW, in the 2008 draft if WR were a higher priority, IMO Thompson likely would have taken Nelson at 30 and not traded down 6 spots risking losing him. But of course there’s no way to know.) My point is if Thompson is limiting himself to the draft, he’ll only have a couple of picks that can be expected to contribute right away and the obvious holes that need to be filled aren’t at WR or CB for that matter. What this discussion emphasizes IMO is the need for Thompson to use free agency to fill a couple immediate needs – preferably ILB and TE if he can. Then if a WR is the best value on the board it’d be an easy pick. [/QUOTE]
