Jerry, I think Angelo works very hard to make sure he has few major needs
going into the draft.  I'm pretty sure it's a reflection of the fact that he
genuinely believes something that many just give lip service to:  you take
the best player available.  I'm guessing that with later picks, Angelo will
fill what needs he has, usually depth and often at key defensive positions.
It's evident that he needs a LB, he needs youth on the offensive line,
etc... and I'm sure he'll have that in mind during those rounds. But you can
bet that at least in the first round he's going to take the best player
regardless of position.
