5e 2nd-7th level Bard? Build ideas please.

[Baelzar]

Ahoy.  I'm getting ready to play in a low level 5e game.  We will start at 2nd level, and likely reach 7th by the end.
 
Here are the rules:
27 point buy variation (see below)
Must take free level of Bard at 2nd level
GM will bump one 15 to a 16 for free before racial bonuses apply
If you don't buy a 15 or higher before racial bonuses, you get an extra 2 stat buy points
Can actually lower stats by 2 to gain more stat buy points; lower to 7 to get 1, 6 to get 2.
 
So I could go full Bard of course; free Bard level + Bards are much better now makes this an obvious choice.
 
Any other class benefit from a 2nd level dip in Bard enough to overcome the clear Bardness of this?  Would any sane player NOT play full Bard in this situation?  Bard Bard Bard?
 
Edit: Bard.

First off, the level of bard will get you

Proficiencies: Light armor, one skill of your choice, one musical instrument of your choice
d8 hit die
Bardic Inspiration (d6) cha-mod/day
Spellcasting:
2 cantrips known
4 1st level spells known
2 1st level spell slots


Paladin works fine if you want to get the most out of Charisma and Bardic Inspiration, and you can use the spell slots for either class casting or smite
Similarly Sorcerer
No idea what to do with Warlock, despite it being charisma
Could go Rogue and make use of Faerie Fire
Any other class can stand to benefit just from having Cure and Longstrider, at which point Charisma doesn't really matter.

Con Save class 1 / Bard 6 ... would boost the effectiveness of Concentration spells.
Paladin or Fighter.  So that one could be Lore Bard, for the "multi" -casting at level 6.
Or just take Resilient Con feat.

Rogue 1 / Valor Bard 6 ... for a more skills based version.
Rogue 1 / Cleric 2 or Warlock 2 / Bard 4 ... is also a decent skills build.

Caster class 1 / Bard 6 ... would get all the spell slots.


Var Human for the feat at level 1.
Might be able to get away with a feat at class level 4, since you're stopping soon after.

Can definitely game that Stat system, for better synergy.
Aiming for a 16 , 16 , 14 , 14 , 8 , 8.
