I would caveat my druthers here, if I went with Maclin in the 1st, the only other offensive position I'm drafting is a RB. The defense obviously needs help, so I may have to "reach" in the other rounds for a SS or a DE or whatever. However, I don't feel as guilty filling a need in a later round where the odds go down that I'm going to be getting a "playmaker" anyway. Bottom line, I have to have quality in the 1st round and perhaps quantity in the rest of the draft is acceptable.
