I think you grade the players, put them in order based on talent, and then do some minor shuffling based on need. If two guys are close, and one is a need, you grab the need guy. What I don't want to do is grab a need guy if there's a guy who grades way above him, but just happens to be a position where we have guys at already. You also have to take into account (just minutely more than need) contract. You only get 4 years out of a 1st rounder before the next contract, so will he be able to beat out the guy you already have in a reasonable amount of time? Do you have the flexibility to release or trade the guy already there without screwing yourself?
tl;dr
