The whole BPA thing just doesn't make sense because every team always takes the best player according to them 

That's easy to say because you're not privy to their boards. It's hard for me to believe that DJ Johnson was the best on our board. The higher graded LBs were running out, we felt that we had to get one, so we reached.

BPA would definitely be a per-team affair, it's not just best talent/best athlete/best stats player. 

I'd probably argue they score it using something like...

Talent rating x team fit rating x positional importance (not need) x character rating

something along those lines.. Obviously each team would evaluate those things to what they believe their scouts/sources/coaches to perceive. If your scheme values a tight end higher, you would have a higher positional importance on the tight end to a team that doesn't really use the tight end much, etc. 

the other thing to consider during the draft is the talent level is not based on the rounds they're picked in, but their own self evaluated tiers and drop off points. 

I.e. DJ Johnson, they most definitely reached. The reason being, it's possible they evaluated and thought the drop off to the next prospect on their board was probably too much and as we know, Edge is positionally important. 

BPA is a general rule of thumb during the draft when drafting for value, but other things can influence that year to year.

Fitterer felt he needed to trade. I watched the video replay covering that draft. He was going to trade up sooner for Johnson but Dan told him to be patient. He waited 1 pick and traded up anyway. Dan just stared at him in disbelief as he laughed like he just stole something.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      That's fair, but I've also never said you can't enjoy a win, there is a big difference between enjoying a win and sticking your head in the sand about our issues, which is what so many who are "just enjoying the win because of how bad we've been lately" are doing. You can enjoy a win while also seeing the realities, and if you're a fan who can just enjoy those wins, more power to you.  But I'd prefer to see improvement over bad wins, and sure, I'd rather see wins and improvement in the same game, but if that's not an option, give me improvement in a loss over frustration in a win. I genuinely don't understand why that's a controversial take, as I'm literally rooting for the thing that will help us contend faster, even if that won't be very fast.

      Yeah. Pretty obvious there. One thing I saw less of than normal (my perception) is the behind the LOS attempts.

      The irony here is interesting You say the change won't happen overnight, so you're good with enjoying the wins despite not showing actual improvement. You're right, it's not going to change overnight, which is why so many of us are rooting for seeing improvement right now over bad wins right now, because you have to start somewhere if you ever hope to improve. Winning ugly doesn't help us in the future, but showing improvement would
