I disagree with every example you mention and especially with the bolded part. That is flat out wrong.
I've heard many club recruiters interviewed in the last year who state almost to a man that it's "best available" every time. A club drafting for need is doomed to fail at selection.
For example, we knew exactly how much potential and talent Viney had, regardless of our list, and he was a steal at the pick we got him.
