Departing from the above and chasing a position is exactly how you end up with busts more often than a team normally would.

Position scarcity and importance should be a factor. BPA gets tossed around but ignores that centres and D are more valuable, and harder to find, than wingers.
If a winger is significantly better - draft the winger.
If it's close, consider the priority of the position.
