That's horse crap. If the best available player is a tight end, than why take a tight end when you have Chris Cooley and you just drafted Fred Davis.

Why not combine the two philosophies and take bet available of the needs you have!

Take the best available OL with our first pick, or trade it for more.

Last year we had a pick somehwere in the 20's and got two second rounders for it, so I think a 13th pick could get us more than that.

I woould like to keep the pick, and find someway to get more picks through a trade. Find some idiot to take Randle El for a 4th rounder.

Yeah, I think you have to be a good judge of talent. You can take the best available and ignore your needs if the guy is really worth it and can be a game changer. You shouldn't be bound by your needs, but I don't think always taking the "best available" is a good strategy. And how was Justin Tryon the best available player when the Skins chose him?

Oh, and Philip Merling, who VC claimed wasn't panning out for the Phins, had a pretty big play in that Jets game.
