Oh I agree, it's just that any draft pick is going to be DT #5 this year and the second round may be a little rich for that. There are some ideal possibilities there though. For example, Austin Johnson of Penn State would be the perfect long-term Branch replacement. I just wonder whether they might wait to the third or fourth round.
I think it's a given that one of the first two picks goes on an OT. It might be that they go With a more luxury pick with the other (pass rusher/CB/linebacker). But they have plenty of options in the draft so I'm fine with a DT in the 2nd (take advantage of a great class) or with going another way.
I don't think that the end of the 2nd round is too rich for a player expected to be a starter in 2017.
