How he plays Sunday, and assuming a win, and in the "Show" will say a lot.
The safe bet is to take the best Olineman we can get. Even if Tice whips the current crew into some kind of a decent group we still need the depth both at OG and OT and it's well past time to get a guy started as Kruetz's understudy. We have two pretty good CB's who weren't 1st round picks in Tillman and Jennings and another who still needs to put it all together in Bowman who was another mid rounder. Help can be found after round one.
I'd favor using the first two rounds on lineman both offensive and defensive then look at CB and/or LB before we even think of drafting a WR who will in all liklihood not make much of an impact until year three if at all. Unless they're a sure thing I hate the idea of picking wideouts early. Too much hit and miss for me.
Theoretically speaking, I'd definitely take Drake Nevis in the first if he was still there, which seems highly unlikely ATM.
But I want an OL in the first, whether an interior OL or a tackle depends on what the plans are for Chris Williams moving forward. My first choice would be Mike Pouncey at G/C (if Williams goes back to LT) or Derek Sherrod at T (if Williams stays at LG).

Sorry brother but with a name like Drake Nevis he should be playing in SF and not Chicago. That's just not "Grabowski" enough for a Chicago Bears DT. I want the kind of guy who drinks a beer with his cracker crust pizza to celebrate being a number one not a guy who'd probably rather have a bouquet of flowers. LOL

He also said Vince Young was a good draft pick.
