Delay Grad?

I am a non-target first semester junior. I have one 4 man shop boutique IB internship and one 50 man shop boutique ib internship. I failed to land anything for SA2027. I did due diligence on SA2027 off cycle and theres nothing. Should I delay grad by a semester and recruit for SA2028. My main concerns are that i've pretty much networked with every alumni from my school when doing off cycle attempts. 

When I recruited for SA2027 initially, the issue was that I went about networking completely wrong (assuming one MD from a couple of firms was good enough). 

So, is delaying grad a good option? If so, will I run into lots of questions or negativity towards "completing my minor"?
