Assuming the following:
-We pick at 4 and 7
-Neal, Hutchinson, and Thibodeaux are gone
Would you:
A. take your preferred WR at 4 and take the best edge available at 7
B. Take your preferred edge at 4 and take the best WR available at 7
The answer to this is dependent upon the answer to two questions
1. What position are teams at 5/6 likely to target? Giants need an edge and OL and definitely wont be going WR. Panthers are a wild card, they need a QB terribly. But is there one worth drafting this high?
2. What position are teams most likely to trade up for? Generally speaking trades in the top 10 are QB specific, but a general rule suggests a top pass rusher is worth more than a top WR.
To me, I think you take the edge first, and WR second based on the above thoughts. That said, if you view a WR as can't miss future superstar and the edge player as a very good prospect who can become elite, then you take the WR first. In the event of a tie grade between players, then you look at the depth of the class at each position and say 'if I miss out on this guy, which position can I be happy about getting the next guy up at 7?
