On the other hand, if we go big at LG (Jenkins), we can sign a moderately priced vet at RG who is still a Cappa upgrade. 

I'll take Jenkins + Zeitler/Scherff over Becton + ???.

Ideally, Jenkins + Becton would be my preference. But Zeitler/Scherff buys us a year or two to draft a good/young/cheap RG for the future. I don't see us investing big money at both G spits long term.

PFF grades: 

Player, Snaps, Overall, Pass Pro, Run block
Zeitler: 1,047; 86.8, 71.8, 87.2 
Becton: 903, 75.2, 63.6, 74.7 
Jenkins: 738, 75.4, 75.8, 74.3 
Scherff: 1,013; 64.7, 74.5, 57.3

If we fix both G spots, we don't have any pressing needs on O. Though I would not be upset with a stud TE (Warren, Loveland), a decent one (Ferguson), a stud/good RB (Jeanty, Hampton, Skattebo, Simpson), a good WR3 (Tez Johnson, Nash, the kid for Iowa State or TCU), or some OL depth, we do not NEED it. 

DT who can rush the passer, DE, a S and we go from there.

I think we can get at least 1 starting guard in the draft. In all reality, DE and OG are our only huge needs, and we've already signed the Run Stopping DT.
