I favor picking the player who can help the team the most.
I like the "best on the board" view also.
If you have a Reggie Bush or a Calvin Johnson, and your team's need is a DT. You still draft the Reggie Bush or Calvin Johnson. But it all depends on the talent. All I've heard about this year is "there isn't a lot of talent on the board".
That's great isn't it!!!! The first year in a long time the Skins have more than one pick and they say this year is the year without a lot of talent. That sucks.
That's why it's important to keep most (if not all) of your picks every season.

1) You can't evaluate a draft class this early. We'll have to wait a few years. Opinions vary on this year's class & it seems to depend on the position.
2) Reggie Bush hasn't played like a #2 overall pick.
3) Were I drafting for the Skins & had the #1 overall pick, I'd pick Chris Long over Darren McFadden because I think he would help the team more. I don't know which will have the better pro career.

Agreed. Five years later is the peak time to evaluate a draft class.

Personally I'd take Jake Long over both of those guys. Not at all sold on Chris Long.
