I'm not trying to argue anything.  I'm asking you how you figure this?  If we were selecting for need I don't think RB and CB would of been our 2nd and 3rd pick.

First is that running back is bad value in the first, so taking one of the first means disregarding value. But aside from that he's said several things about thinking he needed someone like Percy Harvin, and his preference at the pick was Toney. When you're trying to take someone to fill a role that's not taking value, that's taking need. Regardless of whether their "board had that player ranked highest" or anything like that is irrelevant because if you're taking "need" into account when you rate players value, then you're not actually taking players based on their absolute impartial value and ability. I can't believe I have to keep explaining this.
