Now we've got a minimum of three different definitions of BAP and "needs drafting" flying around

LOL

What i know to be true is that GMs will take a player they need over the player at the top of their board regularly.

It's how far down their board they reach that matters.

Often they don't have to reach very far to find value and I fully support that method over acquiring redundant talent in the name of the BAP gods.

For some reason, several folks think this common methodology is a great sin.

I do not.

Of course, exceptions exist if you want to hypothesize specific scenarios, but this [BLEEP] is as common on draft day as sand in the desert.
