Teams almost always draft BPA at a position of need in either the current or next season. It's rare it's otherwise.
Sure, it frees you up to take a less polished guy but he still needs to be able to play by mid-year which doesn't exactly free you up to take a long-shot on a guy like Hudson in the 4th. You're more than likely taking a guy like Radunz or Little in the 2nd as a best-case scenario for freeing up your draft resources.
There aren't many choices right now. I will say, Okung plus a trade of a mid-round pick for Dillon is making a ton of sense right now if they can pull it off. That's the only scenario that really frees up much.
