If a winger is significantly better - draft the winger.
If it's close, consider the priority of the position.

I just think of how 2 teams made terrible position based draft picks to miss out on the Tkachuk’s. Vancouver went D with Juolevi and Montreal went C with Kotkaniemi. Neither were massive reaches but the wingers were ranked higher on most draft boards.
