You'll wind up taking a WR when you clearly don't need one, like the Colts did last year. I mean let's say that Jared Goff is the highest rated player on our board at 24. Do you really take him because he's BPA? No, that's foolish.
You mix BPA and need. You enter the draft with 3-4 big needs, and also factor in expiring contracts. It's pretty easy to build a draft board off of that.
I guess if you made tiers it would be easier to call it a BPA approach. Since instead of being ranked individually they would be broken into levels. If Menelik Watson was in the same tier of Gio I would understand that scenario.
The question about Goff would depend on what tier you have him on. If he is the only player left in your top tier I think you would have to do it. Instead of drafting someone with a significantly lower grade.
They usually brag about having their board set and players going off their board during the draft they way they had it set up. So if they had a chance to grab a highly rated QB that means somebody else had him rated highly. Force their hand. Wouldn't be as easy with other positions but QBs are like gold.
