Age old Question

[81forHOF]

Am I the only one who thinks it is idiotic when analysts say that you should always draft talent over need? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the goal to build a solid team without any glaring weaknesses?

I undrstand that occasionally there is a player that can't be passed on but if I was a GM I would pick for team need 90% of the time (also taking in consideration who may be leaving soon).

I also realize that you don't want to reach for a player just because you have a need but I think you attempt to trade down for future picks in those situations.

Sorry if this is a duplicate thread - I haven't logged on for quite a while. I just wanted to know if others felt the same (because according to the media i seem to be in the minority on this one).
