Draft: Need vs. Best Player
There wouldn't be this dilemma for a team if the best available choice in the draft was also at a need position, but that is a best case scenario.
The Redskins seem to be in a difficult situation, where there isn't much in terms of elite players at their "need" position (defensive line). So to them, there isn't much value to them with picking at the 6 overall spot. Getting someone lower in the first round would probably get them the same kind of value without giving up too much as far as defensive line talent appears to be in this draft.
Question to you all: If the redskins have no other option other than to stay put and draft at #6, would you pick for need or best available (immediate impact or otherwise)?
