That's not to say there aren't other really good players available in round 1, but those are guys that are the top of the top. If we're in position to get one of those elite players (with the excepetion of Young, since we are already 4 deep at DE), we gotta take it. With our second pick in round 1 and from there on out, we draft the BAP at a position of need, but when you pick inside the top 10, you try to get an elite player.

Remember need doesn't have to mean immediate need. For GMs they draft looking at roster construction 1, 2, 3 years down the line. All of the picks they take has their level of need built in throughout the process. 

For instance, they *needed* Taven Bryan, as they knew Malik was going the following year.

WR may become a need. Lee is done. Cole didn't really redeem himself. Westbrook is entering year three already and he's on a contract year I assume. Conley was a one or two year deal? Not sure.

Outside of Chark though I would imagine WR has to be on their list. They have to find a way to balance it out. By the time they figure out this offense the defense will be falling apart. Or vice versa.

Can't catch a break.
