I kinda of agree, especially in the first 2 rounds.Why does everyone just love to reiterate "BPA"? I truly don't get it. Of course you shouldn't reach for need, but taking players at positions of strength will also get you nowhere, unless you have no weaknesses. And there's often no such thing as BPA anyway, as players who are available at your pick are rated so closely together that there's generally no clear BPA anyway.
I think it's just a term that for some reason people have fallen in love w/, even though no team uses it as a standalone strategy.
Take a player that's a near guranteed lock to start day 1. Drafting a player that sits on the bench for 2 or 3 years and then you have to pay them a 2nd contract after only starting 1 or 2 seasons is a waste of an early pick.
Thornhill was predicted to be a day 1 starter at a position of need, should of gotten him. Like you said BPA especially in early rounds are rated so close to each other anyways so take someone that improves the team NOW.
