Unless we find a blue chip prospect that can start right away... I don't want a Tackle with our first pick.

Why? Because it always takes a few years for lineman to become impactful players. Where as corners, free safeties, defensive ends, linebackers, and WRs... can impact the game NOW.

And I believe we have this year and next as our best chance to win it all.

If we have any cap space.... I'd prefer to supplement the OL with veterans.

Agree to disagree. This is a really strong tackle class. This is the year to attack it if any.
