Can you think of a single instance in which a team erred by taking the BPA? I sure can't.
This is somewhat of a redundant argument I would say, as the BPA in retrospect will always be the best option.

But there is an element of uncertainty in drafting. You can't always know who will ultimately be the best. If the guy you draft doesn't end up being super valuable, you'd rather have a servicable guy at a position of need than one that creates a logjam.
