George Asafo-Adjei Jersey Boys , one or more General Managers wade into the debate regarding whether teams draft based on need, or whether they take the best available players.On Thursday, Giants G.M. Dave Gettleman attempted to navigate that verbal minefield.“I’m just telling you: I’m not going to force a pick,” Giants G.M.

The assessment of best available talent always takes need into account, consciously or not. Can veteran hold off several young challengers?"
