Best player available.
Mac, you are thinking short term. You've said before how if the Browns would have just gone out and spent this year, they could be in the playoffs. Which may be true with the right additions, but it would really hinder any future movement with the salary cap. You are looking at it from the same perspective on the draft of what holes need filled THIS year.
Savage/Crennel are looking at it as what holes don't need filled in the next three years. Instead of drafting for need and reaching a few picks on a lineman, they stuck to their board, which I would assume was weighted somewhat for need, and took the best player on that board. Maybe in a year or two when the team is ready for that next step you can look at the draft and say that OT was a hole, so we must draft an OT to fill for the next season. Right now, we just need players who are willing to give their all and play football.
