Completely disagree.

You draft QB (or any player) where you grade him.  If value doesn't match, you trade back or select where it does match.

If you re-draft Brady, you DO NOT take him first overall.

You take him exactly where he was taken.  There's no reason to pay more in value.

You take players as LOW as safely possible, not as high/soon as possible.  That's the idea for drafting every player.  You don't overdraft to get "your guy," whether he's a QB or not.

"I don't necessarily agree with it, but thats the thought process".  

Let's say you need a QB and have a guy in the draft you think is a franchise guy. You think he will be selected somewhere in the 2nd round but you are picking in the first. The thought process is you are better off taking that guy in the first than waiting and missing out on them.  

If you knew what Brady would be then you don't wait until the 6th to re-draft him of course. Particularly if every other teams knows what he is too.
