There are a bunch of things going on here that make me think EDM would be better served by drafting a F.

- I don't think teams should draft for need, and the best consensus prospects available at 4 OV are F's.

- Even if I did, the D available are unlikely to address the "need" for D immediately .

- As previously mentioned, IMO the prospect pool is weaker at F than D.

- Based on the things I've read and the chatter that seems to be floating around, it seems reasonable to guess that Chiarelli is looking to deal from the F's to upgrade the D, which will change the relative "need" equation.
