Gimme the second rated qb on the board all day for me over a sligtly higher rated ol.  Get your guy not a leftover its too important.

If you have need at QB and OL, did you just contradict yourself?
FTR, I know exactly what you're saying, just having a little fun. QB is a unique position.

Also, "BAP at position of need" is what got our last GM fireded.

Every GM has their positional priority determined when addressing needs in the draft,  and free agency helps the good ones alleviate a logjam at the top of the order. 

BAP at position of need didn't get DC fired. 
Missing on his QB, being part of TC's FO when that QB was extended pointlessly, and then stripping the 2020 defense of talent in the offseason got him fired. There are other mistakes, but those are the primary fireable offenses. 

You could also probably throw in "hitching his wagon to Marrone after TC was sent packing" to that list. 
He may have been wiser to go lone wolf style to Khan and tell him we can't move forward with a HC that refuses to alter his DC or won't at least force that DC to alter a broken scheme.
