As far as drafting for need, we don't have a choice. We're VERY thin at certain positions, and I've never like drafting merely the best player available anyway...who wants a team completely full of QB's and WR's. Some consideration for need has to go into the process.

Exactly. The Lions went with the philosophy of drafting the best player available for about three years in a row -- when they thought they were all wideouts.
