You can't walk in with tunnel-vision and draft by need for the position you want. That's what got us in trouble by taking Tyson Jackson. The Chiefs took a guy that was on the top of their board and probably at the top of a lot of teams' boards.
You're arguing for a needs-based draft over BPA. You can have preference over one method or the other, sure, but taking BPA is usually the way to go beyond the first round.

My argument has always been that if you have two players on the board that are closely rated, then you take the player that fills a need.
I can maybe get the McCluster pick in that scenario.
I could easily see that he was rated more highly by a substantial margin by Pioli than other players that filled other gaping holes.
But I simply can not see that with the Arenas pick.
