Don't think we'll get two seconds for a late first. Maybe a second and third at best.well, I think it is a little early to say that. At the end of the season, they need to address our needs and what they see is available. Can you address those needs in the 2nd rd? Maybe, and if you can, it would make sense to trade the lesser of the 1sts next year. No matter what you do, I think 2 players in the 2nd rd is better than 1 middle of the 1st pick. There are absolute stud players found throughout the draft in various rds. The more shots you have, the better.
My ideal would be taking a pass rusher with the first first-rounder, trading down with the second for a safety or linebacker and taking whichever one of those we didn't get in the second in the third. Then, I'd probably dip back into getting a running back in the fourth to increase competition there.
Of course, so much of that depends on what we do in free agency. For instance, if Javonte Williams asks too much and we let him walk, then running back becomes a higher priority than it needs to be. If we let Pickens walk (which I doubt), then do we go with Flournoy as the No. 2 receiver (a big step back) or does receiver become a priority?
I hope we retain what we've got overall and build on it in the draft. I don't care that much for once if we add in free agency, although I'd love to get a top-notch pass rusher, if we don't subtract in free agency. Sure, we're going to lose some guys like Murray and possibly Donovan Wilson and Brock Hoffman, but those are replaceable parts IMO (although I think Wilson is better than fans think).
NOTE: My ideal on the draft doesn't take into account who will be available. Obviously, you don't reach for a DE if a much better player is there when we pick. Maybe you allow another team to trade up for that player, though, so you can drop down a little to take a DE. Won't know that until the draft.
