I also think there's a huge disconnect from the way teams operate and the way fans think. Every year I see a lot of "we need to take OT/CB/etc with the next pick because it's such a huge need" but what if all the tackles available at our next pick have lower round grades on them? Teams operate by going off their draft board, if you can get a player with a first round value in the 2nd you take them. There is room for an upgrade everywhere on this roster so I'm not concerned about taking a player at a position we already have an established starter.

THIS.
The best players left after round 1 feeding frenzy on offense are defensive players.
We have needs on both sides of the ball and will be able to use almost any player immediately that has 1st round pedigree.
This is why I believe DeJean or Kool Aid will be picked here. Both a position of need, and ready to start. One could make a case at being the best or at least top 3 CB this year. A steal at 36.
