You also never know if a pass rushing DT like Newton or Murphy would make more of an impact than a 1st round OT sitting behind Trent Brown.

There's no guarantee that any player you get in the 1st is better than one you get in the 2nd.  No guarantee that Fiske, Jenkins, Smith, etc won't be better than Murphy and/or Newton.

A 3 tech might make impact, but it's a minimal one, on paper.  Murphy only played 28% of the snaps last year subbing at two spots.  Murphy/Newton are going to play more than that behind both Rankins and Hill?

Beyond that, our starting RT and top 2 backup OT's are UFA and our starting 3 tech will still be under contract.  Not to mention we don't have a starting caliber WR3 and our WR2 will be an UFA.  Trying to figure out why 3 tech should be a draft priority, especially without a starting quality NT on the roster.
