Re: NFL Draft question
[ QUOTE ]
Assume you needed both a MLB and SS equally, and they are your top priority, and you had the 2nd pick in the NFL draft.
The top rated prospect is a MLB, and he gets drafted first.
The second rated prospect is a hypothetical tie between another MLB and a SS.
Is it correct to pick the SS, without hesitation, because you are getting the draft-classes "best" SS, as opposed to 2nd best MLB? Or does it all even out (because eventually in that draft, you'll have to pick an MLB anyway)?

Despite your wording making this difficult your question has a simple answer. No, you don't take the SS without hesitation.
Your pick is determined by the depth of the two positions, and the likelyhood that you would get a serviceable player in the second round.
How good is the MLB or SS that will be available to you in the 2nd round going to be?
This is discounting any possible trade or free agent moves.
If everything else is equal, I would rather have the MLB, as I feel it is a more important part of the defense.
