Just an update on Oakland's situation:
OL has been totally reworked with lots of FA signings. We picked up a new CB, and added a WR (James Jones). We filled all of the missing positions on our DL and picked up another LB. Our biggest needs are (currently) QB and S. Within reality, there is no way we pass up a QB in the first without trading down.
But I know this is a draft of no-QB in the top 5.
I think if we (for some reason) passed on a QB in the first, we'd take one in the second. Derek Carr seems to be a nice fit. Beyond that, RB depth might be nice--we have the oft-injured McFadden and the unknown guy from the CFL. I think our DL is pretty solid after all the FA work, same with our OL. If no good RB, S, or QB is available, we're almost at the point where BPA is our approach. We're locked in on two CBs (one FA, one D.J. Hayden waiting to develop), and have some solid #2 and 3 options at WR. TE shouldn't be a concern--Mychal Rivera is solid. So it all comes down to QB > S > RB. S is more resolved if we resign Woodson.
Woodson resigned, may be a safety drafted in late rounds. QB is becoming far more likely, at this point I really don't see any other move being taken by the administration.
