We clearly chose Tyron due to need. It is not always the wrong thing to do just as its not always the right thing to do BPA only. Matt Millen in Detroit was a fanatical BPA believer. Did not work too well.

Didn't he draft 4 wide receivers in the first round for four straight years?

yep just because they were the best player at the time according to bpa. The only one that turned out to be anything was CJ

If you are going to pick bpa, he better really be better than what you passed on. There obviously needs to be some kind of balance between bpa and the current roster. Matt screwed up both ways.

Tyron Smith was not a lesser player to anyone. We needed d line too and would not have messed up with watt, but to 77 was a perfect example of the balance between bpa and need.

I am just happy we are picking much better than the 2009 picks

I had to go back and look that up. I think this is legitimately the worst draft class of all time:

3 Jason Williams
3 Robert Brewster
4 Stephen McGee
4 Victor Butler
4 Brandon Williams
5 DeAngelo Smith
5 Michael Hamlin
5 David Buehler
6 Stephen Hodge
6 John Phillips
7 Mike Mickens
7 Manuel Johnson

the 2009 draft is not only dead to me, but the NFL as a whole

I'd challenge anyone to find a better example of doing less with more.
12 draft picks with essentially nothing to show for it.
