Sure the occasional rookie can play at an all pro level year 1, but more often then not they are average to below average year 1. By drafting for two to three years down the line you set yourself up to put guys in when you need them at a ready to perform level. It also allows you to move on from vets on your own terms when their heir is ready versus forcing them in. The problem is because it has had mixed results here people get sour on the idea.
It's not cut and dry though because some teams believe in it and some don't.
So for instance you need a tackle but you take a QB. Then down the road just how does that help you at the tackle position? BPA only applies to teams that already have set rosters that don't need to upgrade multiple positions. I believe we are in the multiple position category.
