That's just as ignorant as drafting solely for need.

If you have a guard with a 100 grade and a DE with a 98 grade and you are picking the top five and you take the guard your entire family should be executed for the evolutionary security of the gene pool.

There's generally only about 5 positions that should even be considered for top 5 picks unless some safety is a freak of nature or something like that, but no Guard is never given that exception same for RB and TE in my personal opinion.

WR, LT, 3-Tech, QB, and RDE are it for me.

I don't think that CB, RB, or Safety warrant top five picks unless you are picking Barry Sanders or a Champ Bailey type freak (and Vontae Davis isn't that, IMO).

Oh and LBs are never worth top 10 picks either unless it's a 3-4 rusher which is like taking a DE.

I think 8-10 is ok for an LB. I liked the Rivers pick by Cincy @ 9-10, for one.

I love Keith Rivers but for him to be worth his pick he has to make 8 pro bowls he basically has to be Keith Bulluck or Derrick Brooks.

I wouldn't put it past him but he has to so significantly overperform nearly everyone else at his position.

I don't agree with this at all. Why exactly does a linebacker have to make 8 pro-bowl to be worth the 9th pick? The 9th pick isn't quite that valuable.

Yep, **** the BPA it's need time.

It's almost like you haven't read an entire word I've said in this thread.

Same here, I said if it's at another position pick him but if it's at OL like we've been discussing I'd grab him.

BPA isn't just the player with the highest grade.

Positional value accounts for a lot as well.

A DE with a grade of 95 isn't as highly rated of a player than a 100 guard if you are just going by the grades. But if you look at the impact the position has on the field, the DE is worth more, which is why you would take him.

A 10 sack DE is worth more than any guard in the game.
