My board would not be set up even close to that.

Rank the top 500 by player regardless of position. #1 gets 500 pts , #500 gets 1pt.
Rank the needs of the team -- say a exceptional need gets 200 pts if they are a QB but a guard gets 100 pts if you are looking three years out.
Each player gets X number of points based up Injury Concerns - Talent they played against - Smarts - Production - Off Field issues/Background.

Now you have accommodated for all the X factors -- then you put the one with the most pts on top of the board, and work your way down. Draft based upon the board. You might end up with three OL or you might have to make a minor adj to the board as you have already pick two OL and you don't want another, but in general you don't have to question then about rest --- you have already taken into consideration the intangibles and the needs.

In your scenerio, let's say Stephen Jackson is there, and so is a TE you rate about that good, but you need a OL. So you draft Stephen Jackson, and then he sits behind Barber and Jones and Choice is already mad because he doesn't get enough carries. You might have a good back, but Tony is still getting killed because you don't have anyone to block for him because you took the best player, and didn't account for need.

All of it has to be taken into account, IMO. You don't want to lose out on a great talent, but you don't want to add players that will never see the field either.
