This is a really good point. It can't always be pure BPA. I imagine some sort of ranking method is used which grades the players 1 through 100 and then applies a modifier based on extent of the need.
Something like this +5 to rating for player at position requiring immediate starter, +3 need for year 2 starter, +1 depth. The modifier is small enough to not kick a player up a round and essentially forcing a reach, while large enough to serve as a tie breaker in a situation like this year.
Fueled by satanism, violence, and sodomy, dinosaurs had little chance to survive as a species.
