They traded up for McDuffie. They took him because they had targeted him from the beginning. They absolutely took him because of his positional value.
Karlaftis was more of a need pick but even then, I'll give you that one.
But the bottom line here is that you're comparing a draft where we had TWO first round picks to this year's, when we only have 1.
That changes the 1st round strategy completely.
