Drafting a player means not drafting another player or another position. Presumably the reason starts with grade, but positional value factors in, as does the shape of a draft. Where are the value spots? Where is the draft class lean and where is it fat? When trying to determine where to allocate resources and with whom, it’s good to have a plan for where secondary options would be. If a team takes a cornerback in the first, what are they giving up the opportunity to draft and if they don’t get one in the first, where can they get it later?
