Re: Should the Redskins consider LSU Safety Laron Landry with the 6th overall pick
I think the whole argument comes down to drafting for need, or drafting for talent. Obviously our biggest need is on the D line, but we are likely to have the choice of better talent at the #6 spot.
Personally, I think the best policy is to draft for VALUE.
Imagine that all teams have the same number of picks. The teams which get the most value from their draft picks will have the most effective draft. Their draft picks will have been put to better use than teams which don't draft for value (i.e.: more bang for your buck).
So, the question is: who is the better value, Landry or the top-rated DL available at #6?
