I agree with getbak and CliffFletcher

While trading from positions of strength for positions of weakness is obviously part of the strategy of building a team, the fact is that, for top guys - core guys - trades are rare and difficult.

When there is a clear BPA, you simply half to take them (or trade down). But when it's close, position definitely should matter.

Acquire as many assets as you can, and the best quality possible.

But it is also a good idea to try to maintain some degree of balance in the organization.

Hate to always use them as an example, but look how much trouble Edmonton is having trying to fix their imbalanced lineup.
