If I had to pick one, I would say #1 after reconsidering. Bowers is a slam dunk perennial All Pro type player.

Ignoring FA, #3 - these players almost all have a chance to make the team and enough upside to contribute, although TBO Latham makes me nervous.
#1 & #4- not interested in pulling the plug on the Dax Hill experiment with a 2nd round safety, or ignoring bad Day 3 picks.
#2 best if Tee is gone and RT was signed in FA.

RE: If you HAD to pick one draft, which would it be and why. - WhoDeyK - 01-28-2024
I’d really like a RT in round one but I think Latham has by far the biggest bust potential of any of these 1st round pick options so that eliminates 3 for me. Really like Fuaga so I’d be tempted by 4 but I think I’d go with 1. Bowers is the best talent in all of these options. I’m sick of spending picks on the defensive secondary, I don’t think the solution is going even younger and giving up on Dax at Safety, that said Nubin is a good player. Frazier and Davis are solid players and Foster would be a great value.

That's easy - The one with Bowers. I'll take the top 5 talent even though the 2nd round pick is a waste.

Not knowing how free agency will turn out, I vote for #3. It's not flashy, but addresses the line on both sides twice, as well as TE. Would like to have seen a RB or WR in there, but I guess we must have addressed those in free agency.
