Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

BPA. BPA. BPA. I don't care what position it is. I know some don't agree, but that's life.

I understand and agree with the sentiment. That said I think the definition of “BPA” differs from one person/team to the next.  

I know people say they draft BPA but have a feeling there is some rationalization to getting to that point.

Personally I would have a formula based on raw assessment then look at other criteria such as team fit and roster impact (forecast number of expected game play, starts snaps etc…). 
 

Otherwise u could end up with 4RBs  backs and 3 CBs.

I think you look at needs. The you get to the spot… if some guy fell and is there, and is so much better than your need options you can do two things. Take him, or trade back if possible to better match your need guy to his value. 
Last year we didn’t see the right value in our needs at our spot, and went BPA because we had room for a WR. Worked out great. If it were a LOT there who was BPA? May not have worked so great
