They targeted Lamar in that draft and gave up two 2nd round picks to go get him after they had traded down, drafted a TE and got nervous they may miss Lamar. 

QB was a position of need - Newsome and DeCastro had a plan to revamp the offense - and Lamar was their guy.

Back on topic: 

I don't think Tony Khan will be the next GM, but I bet he has the new GM's ear more readily than he has in the past.
(and I guarantee they'll select players using a combination of value and need and they won't just select the highest rated player on their board regardless of position.)

So they thought he was so good they couldn't risk hoping he'd fall further in the draft.

We can't know after the fact, but you can tell need drafters because of the bad players they take to fill roster spots, not the best players they take that also fill needs.

You are struggling here.

The GM and his assistant GM formulated a specific plan to rebuild their offense. Among their NEEDS was a NEED to replace their QB with a new one. They identified a QB who they projected would fall and present value. 
He did fall. When they got nervous that he wouldn't fall far enough they traded away two VALUABLE picks to get the QB that they NEEDED.


They needed a QB. They predetermined a specific QB to pick. They traded up to get him. This is so opposite of your mythical notion of BAP it's ridiculous.
