This kind of thing often happens to teams in the first round. No matter how much they say they are going to go BPA, almost all teams draft for need in the first round. The Texans didn't need a Mike when they drafted Okoye, so they passed on Willis.

Going exclusively for need in the first is a mistake in the long run, but with coaches and GMs under tremendous pressure to produce immediate results, the 'long run' almost always takes a back seat.

Of course, sometimes GMs get lucky and the BPA happens to be someone who plays where they need help.
