The equation is pretty much: Depth Needs + Positional Weaknesses X Pick Value - Drafted Players Already Gone From Board = Best Possible Player for Each Pick Your goal is to fill all of your teems needs while getting the best players that are available before somebody else does. You need to be several steps ahead of the other teams and when you are a team like us that drafts low in the first round (28th) and high in the second round (8th) than close attention needs to be paid to every need for every other team in the league. Preparation is time consuming. Be sure to check out the Bolt Beat Mock Draft. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Chris. There are several factors that go in to choosing a draft pick.

Toby is slipping to the second round because he is not as talented as the other top three/four backs. Now, don't blow up, I think Toby is a good back too; he could become another Mike Alstot battering ram. There are just three or four legitimate RB's that are all around better.

Toby Gerhart is an excellent workhorse. I can't wait to see what happens on draft day. The cool thing about draft going to prime time is that everyone has until the next day to prepare for the second round. It is going to be very exciting. True, if Sproles ends up staying.
