I wouldn't doubt this one bit. 

We are stacked at WR right now. It would be nice to get a developmental WR in round 5, but there is no immediate need for a wideout this year. 

We signed a guard. And it sounds like we are trying to trade for another guard/tackle (by trading Dalton away). If we do add one more guard, that could cross Guard off the list for round 2-3, unless one falls we can't pass up.

Corner is being scratched off the list for rounds 2-3 as well. DT is likely crossed off the list unless they are looking for a 3-4 End opposite Geno.

Where is the need?

Linebacker. Inside linebacker. Outside linebacker/Edge rusher. Maybe that 3-4 End. And I'd add safety into the mix as well. As well as guard/tackle if one falls.
These are the positions I think we would target in rounds 2-4. 

Hopefully the draft falls to us the right way so we aren't reaching for picks. We've reached for too many linebackers that haven't panned out in the past--and effectively wasted those picks.

If we come out of round 2-4 with one inside linebacker, one edge/outside linebacker, and a safety, 3-4 End or Guard/tackle, I'd be pretty happy. Obviously you want to pick best player available and not reach. But those positions could very well be BPAs where we pick.
