These are the discussions that happen in the War Rooms,  Need vs. BPA.. risk vs. reward..etc//not all work out either way.  I would say more teams end up trading up for Need and more teams tend to trade back for BPA but again opinion based 
  

You're typing a lot of words but not saying much. It's not opinion based. 

Go look at All Pros and Pro Bowlers. Where do the vast majority of Pro Bowlers come from? Yep, the top/middle of the first round.

Go look at where 60% of All Pros were drafted at. Yep, 1st round.

First rounders are 5x more likely to make All Pro. 

In any given draft, after the first 10 picks are made, the talent level starts to drop increasingly precipitously. 

There are certainly exceptions but they're called exceptions for a reason.
