That might be a good philosophy beginning in the middle of the first round and moving on towards the rest of the draft.
And it's probably a good philosophy if you have the first overall pick. What people don't realize is what goes on when teams make their big boards. Players aren't assigned scores in a vacuum and then the highest score gets taken. Position value and team need absolutely account for an assessment of BPA.
If the team re-signs Branden Albert and Dorsey has Joeckel as the highest rated player on his board according to position value and overall talent (not taking need into account at all) would he still take him at #1? That'd be incredibly stupid.
I'm pretty sure Geno Smith is going to be at the top of KC's board. They will have stayed true to BPA and gotten the player that's right for them.
Remember, it's not the best 53 players, but the RIGHT 53 players
