While contemplating the question at hand, I found myself going back and forth on the answer. If you draft for need, the player drafted may not be developed enough to come in and fill that need right away. If you draft the best player available, that player doesn necessarily improve your chances of winning.Smith caught eight passes for 181 yards against the Bears, including a wideopen 53yarder that made the Sunday "Gamebreak" highlights. The 53yard catch was a simple coverage lapse, so it told us little about Newton except that he can hit a receiver who does not have a defender within 20 yards of him. This pass pattern, like the one in the last diagram, works best against twodeep coverage.

The Bengals sound more concerned about slowing down a running attack that features Arian Foster, second in the AFC with 1,424 rushing yards and a leaguebest 15 TDs on the ground. Houston was 70 this season when he ran for more than 100 yards. Foster carried 24 times for 153 yard
