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.

It's not "rare" 

It's most of the early picks for every single team. They all go after a player they need right away or will need the next year with the vast majority of their early picks. 

And while you've said that before - you've also gone on and on for 20 posts claiming you should NEVER EVER deviate from BAP. And then you always contradict yourself like clockwork. 

Sitting here and debating what picks were about need and what picks were "top of the board" is absolutely pointless. 

Most of the 1-3 round picks are always addressing a need unless your team is stacked. 

The only actual debate worth having about it is which "needs" picks constituted a "reach" too far down their board and which ones were simply smart VALUE moves to take a similarly graded player they needed. 

Debating Strange and Bigsby is also pointless right now because both players could still turn out to be major contributors. Disappointing rookie performances aside.
