Need and positional value play a role in nearly every decision.

There may be a mid round or some late round picks that are pure BAP but that almost never happens before the fourth round regardless of Baalkes or anyone else’s comments suggesting otherwise.

Especially when a team isn’t already a playoff caliber team.

Be that as it may, the question still stands.  To the extent we have strengths, when would it be acceptable to draft to those strengths?  What strong positions could we fortify and not have you complain about not addressing a need?  (Not painting you as a malcontent..just as a general proposition)

Personally - I don’t see a lot of areas of strength, so there’s not many spots I’d see early picks as surplus. Corner would be an odd choice, but still palatable. Receiver would run me the wrong way early given the lack of urgency to add protection for the QB thus far - which I think should take precedence. 

Aside from those two spots and any RB prior to the fourth round, I’m open minded. 
The RB thing is just my personal pet peeve regardless of roster surplus. 
The number of quality backs in mid rounds every year render early picks at the spot unwise.
