1st round pick dilemma

We all have been in a dilemma for who should be our 1st round draft pick. I'm going to try to break down our needs, and come out with the options we all have been noting for the past couple months. I want to discuss those picks as well. 

Needs: OL, DT, QB, MLB, CB

1. OT: We have several picks for OT with the first pick. Notable picks are Bulaga, Trent Williams, Anthony Davis, and Mike Iupati. 

These guys are all great, but I tend to favor Williams myself. Pass and run blocking is a need on this team. We need to have an OL to help both our QB to be more successful, and our power running game to be more successful. Besides Jake Long, Michael Oher helped make the OL even better for the Ravens, and helped Ray Rice make a pro bowl caliber season(although I do not know if he made it to the pro bowl). All the people I noted that can be selected with the first pick, can make this happen for us. We can also get another OL later in the draft, to help solidify the OL, so we can get 2 OL if we wanted, to help make the OL even better or at least add some depth with a rookie who has potential.

2. DT: The only picks I can concern myself with are Suh and Dan Williams. Cam Thomas in the second, as well as Linval Joseph are great as well, but we are talking about the 1st pick here. So, if we want to draft a DT with the 1st pick, Dan Williams is our likely best.

We all know that our DL needs some dramatic help, and a DT is sure to fill that need right away. Stopping the run, pass rushing, this is what a DT can do for your team. Now, I personally do not know the difference between a NT and UT, but to me I think that they both are the same. If you have 2 Dan Williams in the middle, I think they'll do the same job, and stuff the middle. Anyways, Dt is a need, but I'm sure we can get the same value in the second round.

3. QB: We all know that we need a QB, despite Gradkowski's awesomeness. But Grad may not be our future. Grad certainly has the power to win us games though, but his latest injuries concern me a bit as well. Now, the only QB worth noting that might be there with our 8th pick is Clausen.

I heard Cluasen was a diva, and that makes me want to decapitate him. However, many also think that he will be a better pick than anybody else that might be at 8. This is a toss up for me, because I think a great QB has to be a great leader and playmaker, and Grad also has displayed those. Which I, personally, don't think we should grab one with our 1st pick. There are QBs in the later rounds that should be just as good in terms of value and skill(skill as in what they have to offer). QB is a need, but I don't think it's anything to panic about.

4. MLB: The only MLB worth taking with the first pick is Rolando McClain. Morrison should be better in the OLB position, but at the same time I feel that it's kinda odd, given his body shape, that he's playing in that position.

MLB needs to make sure the middle of the field is well covered, and that they need a great amount of awareness to run and plug up the holes quickly and tackle the ball carrier quickly. McClain can be a force in the middle, and be a huge playmaker. Possibly the next Ray Lewis they say(although I have to admit, I didn't look at him or evaluated him as well). MLBs should also help against the run if we have no DTs that can plug the middle up very nicely. There are also several MLBs in the draft after the first round to take a look at such as Angerer and Micah Johnson(possibly), Spikes and Chaney.

5. CB: The only CB that I can see us getting with the 8th pick is Joe Haden. Although, to me, I think he can make a great safety, but we don't need those.

First of all, I think Joe Haden is overrated. CB is a problem only because we don't have anyone who can help Nhamdi out(and our lack of a pass rush). CB should help buy our front 4 with more time to get to the QB. It should also make the QB harder to find a target if his #1 and #2 are covered very well. I don't think getting a CB with the first pick will make a dramatic change on our team imo, as there are more pressing needs, as well as there are more CBs at better value in the later rounds.

These are what I think our needs are this year. We need to pick the right player who can be help us overall for the coming years, as that will help us be more consistent each year, and make it easier to fill in other needs as well. We CANNOT expect ONE rookie with our first pick to just come in and suddenly give us a dramatic winning season.
