Let's assume this defender can climb and play spot offense (not highly effectively) as well.

I would say yes because an elite defender can prevent a capture, and a capture can be done by an elite robot being fed by a breaching 2nd pick. If you capture, and prevent a capture, you basically win.
I get what you are saying. But if you are a higher up alliance captain I wouldn't risk it.

If I was a lower seeded alliance captain at Lake Superior (seeds 6-8) I probably would of picked the top defensive bot first then picked the breacher/scorer... but that's just me and that possible situation.
