The bolded part is my lease favourite term on draft boards. Just insert any position you want into that line and you can make a valid case for it. The fact remains the players you draft higher are normally better. I also think some drafting stereotypes are getting broken the last few years.
For years people would scoff at a center being drafted in the 1st round but lo and behold we took mangold and the pick was well worth it. The key for me is to get a great player with your 1st round pick and if you get the best guard in the draft late in the 1st round that is fine by me. If you get the best safety, fine by me. Of course it all depends on just how good your scouts think these players are.
