Really, the first 15+ picks should be based on best available, and probably the entire 1st round. After that, you can start to fill needs, but if a switch-hitting college 1B w/ gold glove defense and big power, and you don't pick him --- then TEX is very, very dumb.

That's my take. I firmly believe in the "best available" drafting method early.

Castro and Weeks were complete overdrafts, but the OAK pick doesn't surprise me with their focus on cheap options.
