That is exactly the territory to look for these role guys.
And I disagree... When you have a win now strategy, this team feels forced to draft on need versus bpa. What if we got Byrd and a stud free safety was bpa for our top pick? We wouldn't draft one. It's one of the reasons why I say, if you want to go all in, be careful what you wish for.

If this team signed a FS, when our pick comes up, if Ha Ha Clintom Dix and Odell Beckham Jr are sitting there, then you have the flexibility to select Beckham Jr, because you have the gaping hole at FS already fixed.
If you haven't already filled that gaping hole, then regardless of strategy, be it win now or building for the future, you simply do not have that flexibility.
Drafting that safety both builds to the future and fills that gaping hole that can not simply be ignored in either strategy.
