BPA has always meant best player available at the time of the draft which means the team is taking the safer pick instead of a gamble.

We have no idea where the "vast majority of scouts" thought Jankowski would be ranked. I'm sure even on a team that didn't like him or have him in their first couple rounds there might have been a guy or two on their team that really liked him.
The Flames obviously loved him, and I'd be surprised if a team or two in the late first or early 2nd round didn't like him there either.
Also, there is no board.
