I think it may alter the way they set up a draft board. They might have a RB, TE, WR, and DE with a 3rd round pick grade, then adjust the players by position of need when ranking them. I'm not quite sure they go into the draft saying, "we are going to take the best RB in the 3rd round because we want one" because it is too difficult to forecast who will be available. There may be a player at a different position that was given a 2nd round grade still on the board when the 3rd round pick comes up. Even if that 2nd round graded prospect is at a position that is not a priority, it would be foolish to pass on them in order to simply fill a "need" and that's what gets teams in trouble.
