I'd go with the best available player at a position we need. It does no good drafting the best player if he plays a position you have quality depth for already (I'm looking at you, Matt Millen). We should focus on both lines (guard was my choice above) and maybe DBs or a RB.

Welcome to the Mike Sherman School of Thoughtlessness.
A) If you NEED a rookie to shore up your problems you STILL have a problem.
B) The NEED for a good player is always there even if you look pretty good right now. We had the deepest DL in the NFL just one short season ago.
C) Going for a player at a position of NEED just narrowed down like 20 other positions you may not have need for today and now your picking out of a crowd of maybe 10 players at two positions.
What THEN happens is your thinking narrows to which of these TEN guys (or whatever) are the best and ignore the 100 other guys of whom a few may be twice as good as the best in that ten but you aren't focused on THE OVERALL PICTURE.
Going after a player of need creates a chain reaction of chasing your tale. The next thing you know your short good players and theres' NEED everywhere.
