Vinny's Draft Strategy: Best Player or Predetermined Agenda?

[KI Skins Fan]

I suspect that the first cut of the draft is Vinny trying to go for the glamour player or players that Dan Snyder wants in the early rounds. This year that player was Sanchez, so Vinny tried to trade up for him.

Failing that, Vinny goes for the best available players at positions of need in the first three rounds. You know, real football stuff. This year those players turned out to be Orakpo and Barnes.

After the third round, I think Vinny tries to build depth in areas of need. Since these picks will be players that the coaches will need to develop, I think that that Vinny puts extra emphasis on the Special Teams abilities of the players he picks in these rounds.
