It's never time to pass up JJ Watt for Gabbert. That's where need gets you, passing up better players because you think you already have someone decent that plays the same position.

Or think Leftwich over Suggs then Reggie Williams over big Ben then mattloaf over Rodgers. Needs based drafting sets you up for long term failure while bap drafting sets you up for decades of success.

Except every bap pick has need included. They took Gabbert and Leftwich because they thought both would be high level franchise QBs, and thus the most valuable players in the draft. 

Don't mistake a terrible evaluation for them willingly choosing worse players due to need. They thought they were drafting the most valuable player at the time
