The pick I'd make.

Then you're left scrambling to fill our 3 biggest needs (OT/WR/DE).

I'd disagree that OT, WR, or DE trump the need at DT. The only argument I see against it is the positional value at 31. I don't know that any of Bresee (my god he's so ****ing overrated), Benton, or Smith is worth the 31st pick. I just would rather take my chances and see if one falls within striking distance in the 2nd and if not I'll take Pickens or wait until probably early day 3 for some other guys that are more one-trick ponies to fill out depth/rotation.

Now, we can argue what position is of greatest need after that but I'm not sure I wouldn't have DE last on the list (in fact, I'm confident it would be last). I like our top 3 there more than the rest of the positions. We don't have enough consistency at WR and we need depth behind Niang at a minimum if he goes back the route of the brokedick. But like all things, it has to be the right value at the right time. I don't want Veach to go wild swinging for anyone unless he's going up for one of the top 2 tackles and, even though I consider Broderick Jones an elite talent, that could end up a questionable move.

I'm even open to him improving the CB group if that's the best guy. Sneed is a FA next year and the other guys were serviceable but far from "good." If a blue-chipper falls, yeah grab him. It lets you move McDuffie inside to Sneed's role next year if you want, which is a pretty ideal spot for him IMO.
