You know more about this than I do, so correct my logic.....II have a hunch that our pick is going to be Thieneman.  In round 2, the LB.  (Hill, Rodriguez, or Golday).  Then I see a DT.  Those are the positions we could use starters.  Everywhere else, we have starters (OT, C, CB,  WR or TE, arguably --our primary depth needs), will be day 3 picks

Its against my rules to draft a FS in round one, but Thien makes its super hard to not break that rule. He does look like he'd change a defense for the better. 

Value value value, you just never see Cs or true FS in the 1st. 

Im thinking more about a trade in the works. I do not like the group * of teams around 19. I like the player pool below and into the late 20s..

There are a handful of similarly rated players bunched around our pick. We need someone to fall to us that would stand out from that crowd to get some trade interest.  
I can’t think of a player tha might reasonably fall to us that I feel like we have to have. I am just out on picking a TE or WR in the 1st round over a trade back that gets us one of those bunched together players a few picks later and also allows us to move up for the seemingly inevitable run on ILBs in the top 1/3of the 2nd.
