Tiers. It's a pretty simple concept: You group similar players together, so you know when to expect them to go off the board.
Let's say you need a wide receiver, but you don't have your heart set on just one. You'd be fine with any one of, say, Tyreek Hill, Demaryius Thomas, or Amari Cooper, and all three are on the board heading into your next pick, and you've got another pick right two picks after that.
There's no need to panic. You can focus on another position, confident that at least one of that tier will be there when you make your next pick. That's the power of tiers.
