I think we go Best Available Guard/DB/IDL in round 1. Dosen't matter what order, but there are positions we need to fill. Pure BAP isn't always the right way to go. We're not in rebuild mode. If the "BPA" is a running back at 24, are we taking him with ETN on the roster? Or if one of the top two qbs dropped?

Trading back is always an option, though the historically late picks like 25/26-31 in the 1st round have not yield great results the past few years. I think Lamar is one of the few exceptions.

I agree, but since theres no way to predict that right now i'm just assuming we staying at 24.

Rounds 1-5 we should see 
Two C/G
Two 3-point stance DL
1 CB with slot ability

5 picks, 5 players.  The needs are big enough and obvious enough that any deviation will come with weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I agree those are all needs, but with this supposedly being a great TE and middle round RB class, wouldn't taking one of those positions be reasonable?

TE's to me are the same as RBs, not touching them in the first round unless it's both a dire need & their almost guranteed to be ELITE. Hundreds of TEs have been drafted over the years, and only 2 or 3 currently active i'd even consider using a first round pick on for their production/value. 

Theres also the fact that I think we all can agree Evan Engram is good enough. We have pressing needs that we need addressed at much more important positions.
