If we don't go OT in Rd1 (Sewell/Slater), then I do not see much point in going OT later.
We need help at guard. And WR. And LB. And DE. And DT.
An OT pick has to either be good enough to bump Reiff or Williams inside (Rd 3 OT won't be), or be able to play guard AND be a clear upgrade on Spain/XSF (possible but doubtful for a Rd3 tackle, but not impossible). If he isn't, then he can't help protect Burrow this year.
I just think things are pretty clear.
Rd 1: OT good enough to immediately start at OT or OG (Sewell or Slater in trade down) or receiver (Chase, Pitts, or Smith/Waddle in trade down).
Rd2: WR if we go OT in Rd1, IOL is we go receiver in Rd 1, though I suppose an OT might be an option here (Leatherwood?) if they can play inside too.
If we trade down & get an extra pick, then we can deviate with one of the seconds (LB, DE, DT).
