I thought that the picks made at the end of the first went as well for us as could be expected.
There was that murderer's row of AFC East teams (NE, then Miami, then NYJ), where I fully expected OLB's and NT's to go quickly. But two of the three took DB's, and another took a DE.
Since we're already pretty well set at DB, the more CB's and S's that go off the board quickly, the more players at positions of need will fall to us. I think only 4 OT's went in the 1st round, when 6-7 were originally anticipated.
I'll be very interested to see what happens with the 2nd round pick. I think we're very well set up to either get an OT, OLB, or NT. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see them go with Lefevour if he's still on the board. I hope they go with OT (still 4 possibilities left), but I'm not really expecting them to.
It seems that with Nix's history as a drafter, he goes for OL in the later rounds. That is not a bad strategy if they develop into starters. Since this is a draft that's deep with OT's, I'm not panicking yet, even though I REALLY wanted an OT in the first. I think this is set up well for us so far.
