Question Not the straightest blank

Lets say you have a blank where 1' 6" to 2' of the top of the blank is not as straight as it should be. In other words say 2' to the tip it curved 1/2 off at the tip. Would you still wrap that blank?
I've heard builders say that if you have a blank and it has no spline then its not as good as a blank that does, stay away from it...now what if it has to much, when is it not good. In what I tryed to describe above I'm not sure if its an exaggerated spline or...because its only noticed at the top its a factory defect. whatcha think?
