One of the prevailing philosophies going into an NFL Draft is that a general manager should never pick a player based on the current needs of the team. It’s always best to look to the future and draft the best possible player that’s going to help the team long-term. But when the best player at his specific position, at a huge area of need is on the board, it’s an easy play to be aggressive and draft that player. That’s exactly what Brian Gutekunst did when he traded up to select his top rated safety in the draft, Darnell Savage.
