Unless you're advocating drafting an ILB, G, C, or RB2 at 1.1
May as well take a ****ing QB

God, you couldn't be more wrong.
In our style of a 3-4, we don't need another pass rusher, we have plenty. Tamba Hali and Justin Houston really are all the pass rushers we need. DE's in our style of a 3-4 are less about pass rushing technique and more about a bull rush/run stopping approach. So saying we need a pass rusher, or that the only thing that could make this team better is a pass rusher, is stupid. That just adds depth.
We could immediately use:
1. RT
2. LG
3. Center
Positions that Joeckel, Fisher, and/or Warmack could fill immediately. And saying the 1.1 isn't going to make a difference in his rookie year is the most idiotic thing I've heard in quite a long time, our 1.1 will be an immediate starter on this team. If that isn't "making a difference" I don't know what is.
We could also immediately use:
1. Wide Receiver
2. Inside Linebacker
3. Cornerback
Guys like Patterson, Austin, Te'o, Milliner, Rhodes, and Ogletree.
If we could ask for a best case scenario, its going to be trading back with the Bills, Jets, or whomever into the 8-17 range, and picking up an extra pick or two.
Drafting Geno smith would be a major setback to this regime.
