Therefore by that logic wouldn’t drafting for positional need also fall in the same category???

No. If it's basically a toss up for BPA. 

I don't think Mara is going to be as good as the players drafted before him. He is tall but not very mobile and doesn't offer much outside. If they drafted him to defend Wemby then that's just poor. They guarded Wemby better with a guard than with Chet, who is waaaay more mobile than Mara. Wemby is allergic to the paint anyway. They also just paid almost $30M on their back-up center. 

Maybe they won't resign Chet, but they still don't have anyone to defend Wemby. No one does. Well maybe the Mavs do, if he ever walks again
