If a good one dropped to them it would make sense though -- they will need clarity at both T spots long term. A blue chip T prospect could make it easier to move on from Bakhtiari without having to move Jenkins, or move on from Njiman without worrying if Tom or Caleb Jones can play there. (Tom probably can.)
FWIW I think they go EDGE or DL in R1. The WR group is meh for top talent, and the TE group is deep. Precedent has shown you can find good TEs throughout the draft, you don't need to pick one early. I'd expect them to load up on big guys early and skill players and special teamers late.
They have a few candidates at safety on the roster, none of them look especially ready to step in immediately. Carpenter, Abernathy, Gaines... they're ST players and I think they need help there.
I don't expect Gute to trade up much if at all, the roster has some holes and the draft is a good, cheap way to fill them.
