When teams talk about getting good value for a top pick, there looking for QB, LT, DE/OLB, CB. These are positions that eat the most money out of you salary cap, if you can get a rookie to hold that position down without paying the big bucks thats value. CB's are the highest paid position defensively, how is it weird to try to fill that need by drafting one top 10 rather than pick one up in free agency at an astronomical price

Good post. And for anyone wondering, those numbers came from Charles Robinson @YahooSportsNFL.
