It might be a good year to look for Colvin’s replacement for instance.

Or do we go all-offense at all costs?

The team strength is the defense, but under the right circumstances or if the right guy fell, I would take a defensive guy even in the first round.

An examination of the team's biggest offensive needs-TE, G, maybe RT or WR-are all positions that can be found later in the draft.  The TEs may even drop a little considering last year's deep and talented TE draft and all the teams that availed themselves of the talent.  It's highly unlikely those teams will draft another TE so soon.

Good guards are often found in rounds 2-3, as are receivers.  Larry Allen was found at the bottom of the 2nd round.  Terrell Owens was a 3rd rounder.

If a stud defender somehow fell to us in the first, with no TEs taken and a guy like Will Hernandez off the board, I would strongly consider taking a defender at 29.
