Very smart and well done post.Sorry for potentially hijacking this thread but I know there are sensitives here about starting duplicate threads.
So, I did a little exercise similar to this using the Athletics' Top 300 list that was released today which merges the "Top 50" rankings into a single Top 300. I focused on what I thought were biggest positions of need (DT, DE, LB, CB, S, OT). I also assumed that for each pick, we would be looking at the names in the half-round following that pick. So, for example, at Pick #44, we would be looking at the players between ranks 44 and 60 in the aforementioned Top 300.

My personal obersvations (in no particular order):
1. If you want a day-one starter at CB you better get one early, otherwise you are looking at Round 4 or later
2. DT sweet spot appears to be Round 3
3. LB appears really thin so if you want one, better get one early
4. Lots of S options in Round 4
5. OT options taper off after Round 2
