If multiple players have similar grades you select the greater need. Just make sure you don't reach too far.

I thought you would like that.  Cool thing is we need only a tackle, guard/center, CB and IDL.  None will be required to start due to our FA class. So they can work their way in. Anything else is cake.

I've said before, there are rare instances you pass up the top guy on your board.  If you don't have a need at a position and the guy won't see the field or even make the team it wouldn't make sense to draft a player.  Right now with Jones and Trevor at QB I wouldn't draft a QB. 

 You could argue LB as well and RB early.  Most years though we have went into the drafts where almost every position is a need like this year.  Even if that need isn't for a starter this year it will be a need for depth and a need next year.  You aren't just drafting for this year.  Do yall think Strange was a needs pick for us or was he the top guy on the board?  What about Bigsby?  
 
A lot of GMs draft differently, some GMs draft for need and just fill in holes, they dont last long.  You could also add edge and WR to our list of needs.  So once again almost every position is a need again.
