At different times there are gluts and shortages at various positions. Shortages of QB's, shutdown corners, OL, etc. For the past few years it has been a glaring shortage of good OL, which means you (a) need to draft/evaluate more of them (b) pay more for the good ones, perhaps even over pay to keep them and © adapt your offensive schemes to account for the weakness.
