I think they should take their #1 guy from that group of 4 if that's the scenario. Even if the separation is marginal, it's better to get a guy whose character you like just a bit more than add a 2nd in a shallow draft year. Add the best piece to your core, rather than compromise for a scratch ticket. Just my 2 cents anyway.
