There is no set formula as to which part of the roster gets addressed first. It depends primarily on the quality of the prospects. Sometimes QB gets taken first because he grades out so well. Other times, a different position gets addressed because a prospect at that position grades out well.

Which is kinda the point I'm making. I think the QB they would have wanted was not available so they took BPA at a position of need. I can't blame them for that. Under Cerrato we would have seen BPA overall when in reality you do that when your team is pretty much set not when you have glaring holes all over the place.

and again your right there is no formula some teams pick a QB and develope a team around him, some teams get the supporting cast set then go out and pick a QB who will have support to help him on the field.
