If you were GM, how would you use our that first pick in round 2?

If the right QB is there, definitely QB.  The TE class is weak.  Interior OL can be had later.

Tepper isn't likely to throw in the towel on Bryce after year one and would probably veto that but  I definitely understand your reasoning.

You mentioned that the TE class was weak. Do you have any insight into the LT and WR classes?

I wouldn't be opposed to taking a 2nd round center if had the potential to turn into Ryan Kalil or Creed Humphry for the rest of the decade. Sure up the center position with a STUD, Put Brady at LT (his natural position), move Ekwonu inside and our O-line would improve immediately.

I'm beginning my draft digging currently, I usually wait for the college regular season to wrap, which just happened.  One thing is crystal clear about TEs, after Bowers, the drop off in talent is like a steep cliff.   Yes, Bowers is elite, but even if he weren't maybe three or four TEs get drafted before day 3.  Possibly one guy in round two and a couple in the third.

It's likely the line will be a lot better next year with Christensen at LT and Icky at LG (which is how I see it playing out). I don't see them taking OL in the 2nd or 3rd and they will most likely use free agency for some depth guys on the line. I think the first pick will be a TE or WR, dependant on if Bowers is there. That's how I'd go as well.

WR and OT class is deep. We could get a first-round talent at WR in mid/late round 2. 

If our goal is to protect Bryce and build our IOL so he can perform better like was done for Brees, kicking Icky inside is a no-brainer. I'd like to see BC with some experience under his belt and a stud LG like Icky beside him. 

We could find a very good OT in R3 this year too. 

All depends on HC/GM and the direction they want to go in. If it is someone like Harbaugh, our current OL (with Icky at G) is made for his style of offense. 

 

Extremely deep and talented qb class. They'll be an extremely talented and intriguing pick at the top of the 2nd rd. Being a gamecock fan I watched Rattler all year throw darts in the SEC behind a horrible Oline. He also had limited weapons but his arm an accuracy was on absolute point. He will definitely be there in the top of 2nd and a much less chance in the 3rd.

Penix is a lefty, so Ickey would be on his front side an Moton on his blindside.  Without shuffling the cards, this could be a quick fix if only we can solidify the guard positions.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
