Browns analysis: Top needs and players to watch at NFL Scouting Combine
-
Like I said, it plays a part. Sure, we aren't going to draft a QB in round 1 just like we aren't going to draft a punter in round 1. There comes a point where drafting a player at some position is just silly. We don't need to discuss that
You also look at needs if you have 2-3 players you more or less rank the same. I am sure players grade out in "ties" all the time, so you might rank them according to need.
You also have times there is a clear cut best player on the board. IMO you are best served taking that player.
I think even the clear cut best player also depends on what position he plays. If the "clear cut best player" is a QB, RB or TE, there's really no point drafting him. Better to trade back some to get something in return and then pick the best player available that is also at a position of need. At RB, we already have Chubb and Hunt (pending suspension), there just aren't enough carries to go around for both of these guys to be effective long term so there would be no point adding a 3rd high draft pick RB to that mix. We have bigger holes to fill than a RB.

I only said RB because the other poster said even if Jim Brown was there. No, I don't think we will draft a RB mostly because none are better than what we have. If Jim Brown was there, you'd be stupid to not take him. Trade the others.
My point is I would love a DT. I think we need defensive players and want us to draft several, but if Metcalf is the best guy on the board, take him. I'll leave that up to Dorsey to decide.
At no point do we not need great players.
