Positional value brother
Give me the player at the more important position, even if they are similarly ranked.
With that said, you wont find many big boards where Karlaftis isnt ranked much higher than the two guards
Id hope the FO dont use draft picks in isolation and have a strategic outlook. Unlike fans who see player (or position), want player, must have player, I hope we're looking a creating a team (identifying faults and future).
It appears so many of these thread are based around, not wanting to draft a Guard (pick a position of value and then go cheap on a Guard in latter rounds). I'd argue this is the year that a Guard is most important, for the team and future.
Sure we can skimp on a lesser Guard, however, in 2023 we're potentially starting a mid-round rookie RB (with Zeke and Pollard both gone) and if we dont strengthen that O-Line to assist the running game our whole offense will be compromised (NB Jimmie Ward quote)......
.... Jimmie Ward quote - “We went in there and did what we needed to do: Stop the run and force them to be one-dimensional. See if Prescott could win the game for them,”
