Assume depth throughout the draft is equal for the SS and MLB positions.

Then you flip a coin, because there's no reason to take a player just because he's the top prospect at his position.

Jack, what if you pick 5th and the first 5 prospects are MLBs, and the 6th is a tie between MLB and SS? Is there an argument for taking one over the other, or just flip?

Just look at the usual pattern of the draft. Usually by the time you get to your first safety, you have multiple QBs, OL, and DL taken. No team says "this is the best player at his position." They say "which player can help my team the most?"

My bad, y'all. Sorry for the horrible thread. Mods plz delete.

Would you rather date the 5th best-looking waitress at Hooters or the best looking waitress at Denny's -- if they were identical twins?

Your locations makes sense.

This is way too hypothetical. Which one makes more money? Which one gives better head? Which one has the tightest vag? I cannot answer your question.

PHB,


Exactly.

The answer is either it doesn't matter or it depends, and since you refuse to talk about why it depends, then it doesn't matter.

This all depends on which team is drafting.

Lions: Flip a coin between the MLB and SS, then take a WR anyway.
Eagles: Flip a coin between the MLB and SS, then take a lineman anyway.
Redskins: Don't have the pick because they traded it already.
Houston: [censored] it up somehow.
Giants: Trade all their picks to move up two spots in the draft, then [censored] up and take the worst player.

Is it correct to pick the SS, without hesitation, because you are getting the draft-classes "best" SS, as opposed to 2nd best MLB?

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course not. A player's position ranking is irrelevant--you need to evaluate the players holistically(Need, Position Scarcity and Value Over Replacement Player) to make a good pick.

Didn't read thread, but...

these three are available

Peyton Manning (QB)
Tom Brady (QB)
Ron Dayne (HB)

Manning gets picked first. You need a QB and HB equally. Do you take Tom Brady or Ron Dayne?
