You don't take Reggie Williams over Rothlisburger. You don't draft Gabbert over JJ Watt. Or Anger over Wilson, and the list goes on.

There are times where need does play a key factor. But good teams have the luxary of picking the very best player available. The bad teams 'seem' to draft for need.

Aaron Rodgers wasn't needed in 2005 up in Green Bay...but man that pick sure paid off.


This is typical BAP 2nd guessing.

Common knowledge at the time said that Gabbert was a likely franchise QB. Some pundits even rated him the top QB in the draft. Watt wasn't even rated the top DE. Of course it didn't turn out that way. Sometimes you draft who you think is BAP, but you end up wrong. In another example, Joeckel was a clear BAP, not a need since we had Monroe playing at a Pro Bowl level in 2012.

The Reggie Williams pick was a clear reach for need; Roethlisberger was in a completely different and higher tier at the time.

Wilson turned out better, but he was no BAP at the time. Even so, picking a punter there was idiotic. But that had nothing to do with BAP.
