For starters, I think Poles should draft for next year, due to us still being on the rise.
After QB, I believe EDGE is the most important for team building. Winning teams generally need to have three guys that can get to the quarterback. If Alt is available at 9 and our EDGE guy is gone, I take him. Top ten picks absolutely need to be blue chip prospects at pillar positions. If the guy we like is there, we should get him.
At nine, trade opportunities are likely going to be there. If there are multiple prospects remaining and Poles believes he can trade back and get one, it's a no brainer.(Only blue chippers though). If he can finagle the blue chippers out of the first, we can crown him...
