His highlight reel on YouTube is impressive. Fast, athletic and physical.
As much as I want OL the most, if DeJean is there, BPA logic leans to taking him.

The best OL ranked in round two (not reaching for one) are interior lineman.
There are a couple of LB’s that are lining up BPA and we need.
OT might be a reach at 36 and 40 with who is left.

Dejean might not make it to 36. Hope he does. You need to take an OT at 40 even if it is a reach. Because JD needs all the help he can get up front

If we draft a shitty tackle at 36 because we need it and he goes out and plays like shit we're just gonna sit here and bitch about Peters wasting a 2nd round pick on a shitty tackle. Like we do about Phidarian Mathis.

And if we only draft a project tackle and our shiny new QB gets killed then there will also be bitching at Peters not using the resources to get a guy. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Hopefully they have one or two gems in their pockets, if they pick one at 40 hopefully it is because they know he is good rather than reaching. Even if fans and media don't rate them

If we're down to developmental OTs, then I'd rather wait until the 3rd round, because there will be plenty of those available there. Use picks 36 and 40 to get players who have a greater chance of starting week 1 - CB, LB, WR, maybe even EDGE.

Let's not overcomplicate things and reach unnecessarily.

That would be my approach as well. One difference in my preferred approach would be to extend your idea through the third round because I believe this draft is extraordinarily deep.

Oh, I agree.

Little early to be bitching about Peters not filling holes, the 2nd round hasn't even started yet. Let's let it play out before we critique the moves he does or doesn't make.

Seriously...

Also, let us not forget all the holes we filled in free agency already. Some of these are short-term fixes/depth pieces, but some are on 3-year deals and expected to contribute in a big way:

Marcus Mariota
Austin Ekeler
Zach Ertz
Nick Allegretti
Tyler Biadasz
Dorance Armstrong Jr.
Dante Fowler Jr.
Clelin Ferrell
Bobby Wagner
Frankie Luvu
Anthony Pittman
Michael Davis
Noah Igbinoghene
Jeremy Chinn
Brandon McManus
Tyler Ott

Absolutely, and he can't fill all the holes in one offseason.
