It would also be a surprise since Stephenson and Allen have both played right tackle and both are under contract. Plus, CB, ILB, S, WR & TE are all better value selections than a right tackle in the late first.

I agree with everything but ILB. It's not a better value option. We've been fine with FA ILB's the last 2 seasons. Hell we lost DJ and it still didn't hurt us.
If it's me, I know defense wins. I'm taking a CB round 1. I don't see a safety or TE that would be worthy of a late first rd pick this year, and we can easily get a WR in rd 2 to add to weapons we already have.
Here's what we have at CB right now:
Sean Smith-FA after 2015. Top 5 highest paid player on team.
Phillip Gaines-great player who will be #2 CB next yr
Chris Owens-midget who isn't that great and should be gone in '15
Marcus Cooper-can't even get on the field. He's been awful this year.
Jamell Fleming-good depth but hasn't stayed healthy.
So basically we have 2 reliable players next year. We've been so bad there with injuries/depth that we've had Ron Parker play CB.
It's bad when Parker is playing CB bc he's not the same talent he is there as opposed to when he's playing in space at safety.
Hopefully Cooper gets better next year, but right now I'm not counting on him.
