I know you didn't address this to me but I'll take a swing at it. It's simple - You take the highest rated defensive player on your board unless someone from offense has really fallen. That being said, I still don't think the Cowboys have 27 players with 1st round grades and rather than reach for a player with a 2nd round grade would jump at the chance to trade down 7-8 spots.
Okay, so if Gordon is rated a little higher than say, Kendricks, you would go ahead and take the LB? I don't like picking the BPA out of defense because you're cutting out half the team (even though I understand why you would want to do it). I might rule out a couple of positions (like TE and C) but the team needs a RB quite a bit.
I really like Kendricks a lot but LB is in pretty good shape and I think Gordon would light it up in Dallas. In other words, Gordon would be quite a bit higher on my own personal board and I would take the higher rated player in this example.
If there is a DL pretty close to Gordon's grade, then I might would go with the DL because they are usually impact guys in a 43 scheme and I like to strengthen the lines. But I would pretty much stick with BPA if I could.
