This year is no different, we just have more needs

So WR in the first round is a possibility this year?

I think that if you’re in rebuild and have a completely free hand then the answer has to be “yes” if you think he’s the BAP.

But if we’re still clinging to the idea we can be competitive with the roster we have left then the answer has to be “no”, because there is a more immediate need at DT, OT and LB (because they can help you win games now).

So, to me, there’s a very clear difference.

Of course it's a possibility. Doesn't mean i think it's best best combination of need/positional value/depth of class. 

You need to remember that they aren't taking players for how much they help the team as rookies, rookies are for the most part not impact players at any position. They're taking players who will be impact players year 2/3/4 , even GMs in Caldwell's situation. 

So no there isn't really a difference at all. Just more positions that credibly fit into the "position of need" , than most years
