Carrying on from the previous point, always look to select the player who solidifies your team in a position that needs strengthening. Don't just aim for the best possible player. If you've already got a solid QB in your lineup, don't bother wasting a pick on Tom Brady, plug the unglamorous linebacker spot with an obscure but very competent player instead. The same goes for receivers and running backs. You may think that it's a great idea to stack up on offensive weapons, but remember the absolute basics of football, if your defence and O-line aren't up to scratch, your offensive playmakers will barely see the ball. Strengthening the defence early on in the draft is a great way to give yourself a platform. Go for J.J. over every point-scorer, he'll win games for you from the other side of the ball.
