Oh I definitely agree, I was just responding to dieHARDflameZ's justification as to why we took Jankowski over Maatta (organizational need). We were light on centres in 2012, so we drafted a centre - the fact that we missed out on Maatta because we (may have) prioritized the centre position due to lack of organizational depth at the position just shows why it should always be BPA. It's just too hard to project your roster 2+ years down the road.
