I think in many instances, the "BAP" boilerplate language only serves as a justification to draft a player that doesn't fit a perceived need.
To those teams that actually DO adhere to BAP, it's still not a foolproof system.  Its reliability depends on the accuracy of the player evaluations and rankings.  If you make mistakes in evaluating a player or players and the rankings reflect the errors, you could still end up drafting a bust.  Gene Smith asserted he was a BAP drafter.  Either he was lying, or he honestly thought he was but couldn't evaluate and rank the talent.
We're coming off three straight losing seasons, including last year's 1-15 season.
We have a ton of needs, and just about any player at any position could be justified as a BAP pick.

It's extremely unlikely that there will be a clear BAP at 25, or at any pick. What teams do is lump everyone that has close grades together and then they'll pick one that fills a top need, or that is a premium position, or that is from a weak class positionally where there might not be another good player from that position later on.
