<< You don't draft for need at 55. You take the best guy available (read: upside). If the guy with the most upside happens to be a guard, you take him. >>

Disagree Dooby. In the first round, no question that you draft best player available, but in the second round (especially late secound), you have got to plug holes.

Sure there are some possible second round "steals" but the idea of one player being better than another is a "wash".... that is why you have to draft the second round based on need.

<< If you all are referring to Jarod Jeffries there is NO WAY he's dropping to 55. That is a PIPE DREAM to think he will fall that low. >>

I was talking about Chris Jeffries, not Jared Jeffries.
