Positional Scarcity and It's Effect on Draft

[EvanR123]

Good article with many viable points made. The only issue I see is if there is a solid OL player on a team and only one, with the rest being fill-ins, why dedicate the pick to only have a strong 1/5? Having 4 terrible players still makes for an abysmal offensive line so why should a high draft pick be used if it won't elevate the team all that much? Now if we're talking about 3 or more offensive linemen on a team, then that's a different story but largely unrealistic. The impact a QB or WR can have on a team in my opinion far outweighs placing a band-aid on a floundering line. If there's a strong position at one area, the simple solution is to target the weak parts, which is every other place on the offensive line.
