I believe in positional value as much as anybody, but at the end of the day, you've got to be pragmatic.
What will make the Chiefs better: Cam Erving, or Kevin Johnson. Not "a center" versus "a corner" on "a hypothetical NFL team." We have known roster realities and available talent to consider.

Agreed!
People talk about reaching for a player of need, of drafting the best available player, etc... but that's thinking about the draft pick-by-pick. At the end of the (three) days it's about "how much have you improved your team?" You have to look at the collection of players you got and ask yourself "How much did my team improve? What weaknesses do I have that my opponents will try to exploit?"
If you just take BPA every pick and don't think about needs you'll end up drafting 5 damned running backs.
