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.
The problem with Cerrato was not really BPA, it was his grading system of prospects and willingness to cough up picks in trades. Malcolm Kelly and Thomas were picked to address a need for a threat across Moss.
He was even going to trade up one spot to take Orakpo, which shows how little he valued holding onto picks.

More likely than not, we would not have picked at all in the 2nd or 3rd round with him at the helm. He'd probably do another Jason Taylor trade and we ultimately get close to NOTHING.
