I don't follow.

...At this point I view the draft like a lot of others on the Warpath.
We need to pick defense in the first round.
The priority that lies therein is debatable, understandably so.
If we get a hot shit corner back then its all cool.

I don't understand nor agree with the 'we need to pick defense in the first round'. Let me pose this question.

What do you do if a WR or RB or OL is clearly the BPA at pick 21? Are you gonna pass over the better prospect in order to draft a player on defense?
