We’re a SB quality team, I’d like to see us get a day 1 impact player in the first to help us win another.

I don't think I believe that (1) Emmanwari is an NFL S and (2) that a rookie S could displace both Cook and Conner from the starting lineup.
I also think, with the Fulton signing, a CB you draft is going to be AT BEST CB4 on this roster.
Maybe a rookie G could win the LG job to start the year, but there are internal candidates with more experience and - arguably - just as much upside there.
I DO believe that a WR in Egbuka or Burden, or a DT in Nolen or Harmon, or some of the other DE/DL types can be players who get significant year 1 snap counts and are contributors, if not starters. You probably could find a WLB (if it's Jihaad Campbell) to displace Tranquill. Probably.
But this isn't a team with a glaring HOLE that HAS to be filled in Round 1 at this point. And that's what you want, because when you aren't tied to trying to find a starter at a specific spot, you really can go BPA. And that's nice.
