Now?
BPA only at positions of need. The draft talk on this site, though, with the draftniks is laughably horrendous so now it's just comedic relief during draft week

Not "they all".
One, it could easily be argued that Ford wasn't the BPA regardless of need or position. Many made that exact argument on draft day.
Two, even if you want to have the "position of need" argument, what positions did we NOT need?
Bottom line: Unless you're injured or a QB sitting for a year behind an established vet, a R1 pick should contribute as a rookie.
Look at the guys taken in the first round. There are a LOT of guys who have made significant contributions to their teams. Ford's best known for running away from Frank Gore.
