The NFL calendar is down to just the last few days before the 2018 Draft kicks off. While everyone wants to use a “best player available” method to draft, that does not really exist. Neither does the counter to that, the “needs” based draft. A draft cannot be mutually exclusive when it comes to those to draft methods, but rather needs to be a combination of the two. Teams have to know where their needs are, and they have to balance the talent on the board with where they need the help.
Drafting seven running backs because those are the “best players available” in each round does not make your team better.
