[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 905859, member: 9033"] I tend to look at team building like this: which positions are going to cost the most in free agency if the team has a hole that needs to be filled? If the Packers draft a center and then need to sign a CB, it's going to be FAR more expensive to get a good corner than it would be to draft a good corner and sign a good center. It's one of the primary reasons I'm fine with not drafting an elite ILB, you can always sign a decent ILB for less than any other position on defense outside of run-stopping DT. Team building has to look at the future and just assuming all your picks are going to start isn't realistic, so good GMs need to be looking at years in the future and planning on where they might need to sign free agents. I'd prefer to need free agents at cheap positions instead of expensive ones. Plus, the Packers currently have a REALLY good center on the roster in Jenkins if they need to move him there. Additionally, offenses only start ONE center while defenses will occasionally field 4 or 5 corners, so finding a guy that can play center, or guard if the Packers move Jenkins to center, is much easier because there are 32 starting centers in the NFL while there are, basically, 96 starting corners; much lower demand for centers compared to corners. Now, tackle is important which is why I said I would be fine with an OT in the first round (it was second on my list of preferred positions in round 1) so I'm not sure how we're that far apart on OT.
