It's easy to say that you'll draft BPA only, but it's really hard to do. If you have a major gap on your roster, are you really going to let it fester and cost your team games over the next couple of years until the draft slots just right to fill it? If you're a GM who has to win to keep your job, are you going to keep ignoring Kendrick Lewis at free safety because a linebacker or a tight end is ranked higher? If you think it's a quarterback-driven game, will you keep starting Matt Cassel because the highest-ranked player isn't a quarterback?

I don't think you draft purely based on need, but I think it should get an equal weight to BPA. You only go BPA if there's a clear frontrunner who can't be ignored.
