If we indeed wind up picking second then Hutchinson or Thibs is there for the taking.  Up until yesterday I thought Ojabo could be the edge we needed instead of Hutch. Not anymore. This guy could be the next JJ Watt or one of the Bosas. If they are gone when we pick then I lean toward WR, possibly moving back from 4th or 5th a couple spots since I feel we would have to be that far down to be too low to get Hutchinson.

I don't know if I eschew edge rusher.

I have my doubts about Thibodeaux, and I haven't seen enough of Hutchinson and Karlaftis to be solidly pro or con in either case.  Not only that, if you have a GM who knows what they are doing, they can find 3-4 edge rushers in the mid rounds.  Of course, we have Baalke, so that excludes us.

I can respect that. Have seen Hutch and Ajabo several times myself and both are very impressive but Hutch has pulled away of late. Thibs was very strong looking earlier this season. Haven't seen Karlaftis but saw Johnson in the FSU-Fla game and not overly impressed. He's good but not top ten good IMO (Maybe a taaad Gator bias here LOL) But your points are good. We need help all over the roster. Badly. At this point I feel we just take the BAP when we pick unless there is more value in trading down. Just don't trade down too far. Trade Might enter my mind if NT was BAP when we pick in the 1st round. Honestly though WR and Oline are our biggest needs IMO, followed by Edge and ILB.
