Thats a rather odd draft philosophy

It's not a philosophy, it's a truth. Every time any team makes a draft pick they are betting that this young fellow will somehow be able to make the jump to the NFL, that'll he won't be bogged down by injuries, that he will over perform where they picked him.

And in the vast majority of cases across the entire spectrum of picks, the success rate is low.

That makes every draft pick a hope.

Graham, Carter, Hunter, Johnson. The odds that one of these 4 players are still on the board is pretty good. 

Carter and Hunter will be gone but really good chance at least one of the others drops to us.  Hunter is trending down due to technique questions on D.

I think based on the signings, finding good rotational guys at edge and dline, that they're more confident in that rotation than they are in the backfield, since they only signed a safety and resigned Mike Jack, who was a good place holder.

So at least with the 1st pick, I think they're leaning towards a corner like Will Johnson, or a safety to pair with Moerhig like Malaki Starks or Nick Emmanouri to roundout the defense. Since this draft is so deep with edge and NT help, im sure they're thinking that they can find one in the later rounds that can be part of that rotation. Just a theory.

Man a safety early round one is tough. I really like Nick Emmanouri but at 18, not at 8. Guy is a freak.
