It seems as if the 1st round is BPA selection for the future whereas the 2nd round is more about immediate help.

That's part of the reason I think 1st round is a pass catcher and 2nd round is a DE. The other part is I believe a pass catcher will simply be BPA over a DE at 9 unless Thomas falls.

That was part of the reason I said earlier this offseason that I thought we would go pass catcher at 9 (as I think the team ranks offensive players much higher than defensive players). The other part was I feel like when the team has a bad run, the Powers That Be feel like you just need to plug in someone on offense to make it better.

I've backed off on that some with letting Peko and Mauluga go.
