Without trading up, we have a legitimate shot of getting another starter, either on the DL or in the secondary.

Not to mention the possibility of Trent Williams coming to town.

OT Josh Jones anyone? 

Weaknesses are basically things that can be taught in the pros. 6'5", 320 lb plus athlete that can move around. I like him better than Ezra Cleveland.

p.s. having said this, Trent Williams is the way better option and player. Sounds like that is still percolating.

I listened to an interview with Rick and said he'd like to trade up on day 2 (rounds 2 & 3) and get more quality players here.

Definitely have the ammo to improve the #58 and take a 3rd, 5th and 7th and get back into the 2nd.

Hit LSU again for Cushenberry and grab a guy like Davidson or that second tier T, CB, or first tier S.

I think Jones is a better fit for us...  he can start at OG and possibly bump out to LT next year if we get rid of Reiff.  I would rather draft him than Ezra who projects as a LT only.

I'm most surprised at the amount of DL remaining - or, how few did not get drafted last night. Aside from Epenesa and Gros-Matos, all of these DT are available: Justin Madubuike, Ross Blacklock, Neville Gallimore, Raekwon Davis, Jordan Elliott, Marlon Davidson. Maybe no need to trade up for a 3T - though I expect there will be an early run at the DL, and they need to get the right one.

Say we walk away tonight with a haul like this - Blacklock/Elliott/Madubuike, Jabari Zuniga/Darrell Taylor, Jonah Jackson and a trade for Trent Williams....and I may need to change my underwear.

Kinda where my mind is.  IMO that is the biggest hole right now.

So much of what we do day two will depend on whether or not we're planning to trade for Trent Williams. IF we do, I think we're looking at S, DT, G. If we don't, pick 58 almost has to be a tackle. But I doubt Ezra Cleveland or Josh Jones drop that far. The tackles beyond that are more developmental. With Cleveland getting their tackle, the Vikings should be the front runners for Williams. 

How cool would it be to then draft a badass guard at 58, perhaps giving us Williams-Hunt-Bradbury-Samia-O'Neill. Line done.

Put Gallimore in there and I'm sold. I don't expect him to go above Blacklock, but I'll bet you a box of donuts that in two years he's the best DT of that group. LOVE Darrell Taylor.

Forgot about him. Definitely. There's so much for Rick to work with today.

You forgot to say Boom. Need a 3T still, though. Is there a way Minnesota can land one of Gallimore/Blacklock/Madubuike/Davidson, trade for Williams AND still get a plug n play LG?

DL is a huge need. We still need a starter at 3T and at least depth at DE, though there are some prospects like Gross-Matos and Epenesa who could easily be starters early in their career. There's also still a lot of secondary talent available, so if they want to add a nickel or safety depth, then they should go out and get it. That's where Winfield Jr. could be interesting, since he could play nickel and be insurance at safety.

Oh I think it's very possible. Just get the trade done and let Rick do his work. With Williams in hand, you could add Gallimore or Madubuike at 58. A little bit of a stretch but definitely possible. Then you have guards like Hunt, Bartch, Lemieux, Jackson, Adeniji in the 3rd. Hunt and Bartch might go earlier but the rest should be there.
