You can argue anything is a need, on a scale of 1-10.
I agree with you, but say DE for instance. Not much of an immediate need, for starters/depth, but after next season who knows if Cam Jordan retires or Chase Young isn’t re-signed? If BPA falls to you is also the perfect to fill this almost definite future need, you have a clear vision of a need this player is filling. It’s not black and white.

You can define it however you want, but I like my definition (of course).....but to put it into proper context I would argue that need's are more immediate, wants are more how you describe future needs, and there is nothing wrong with taking BPA to fill a want (or future need if you will)....most of the successful teams draft in this manner IMO.....
