How I Would Approach the Draft:
The first thing that is going through my head when I enter the war room on Wednesday night, is who my top prospects are and what the biggest position of need is. If I need a corner, I may not look to Dermot Lavelle(unless I'm the Wraiths) but I'm looking at some of the other guys, in the middle rounds. If I need an Offensive Lineman I'm looking to round 1. A deep draft and a perennial position of need for every team, there's a chance that half of the first round is used to populate the trenches on the offensive side. If there is a player I want, I'll try to make a trade to move a few spots up, even if it means giving up a few lower round picks and possibly losing out on someone who could turn into a great player. If I believe the prospect can help my team, while believing he will not be at my next draft spot, I'm calling one of the teams, specifically the team who I think would need the most, whether it be draft picks, players, or a situation where a player that benefits my team does not benefit theirs. When I enter the war room I'm going to look to make my team better, whether that happens by drafting the best player available every time or choosing a position of need depends on how the draft board falls come Wednesday night.
