That's true. You draft for value. If you don't need the player you can always trade them.
Look at Atlanta. They spent a mid rd pick on Schaub and there are some teams that actually considered trading a 1st rd pick for him.
When you draft for need you have a greater chance of drafting a bust. We older fans have seen it before. Eric Kumerow and Billy Milner come to mind.
