<< In "Last Chance For Victory: Robert E. Lee and the Gettysburg Campaign" 
by Bill Ward and Scott Bowden, the authors discuss options available to 
Lee for Day Two, and if I recollect correctly, they included:

(1) Retreat back towards Virginia,
(2) Restructure his line, and assume the defensive
(3) Attempt to flank Meade to the left/north
(4) Attempt to flank Meade to the right/south (as suggested by Longstreet)
(5) Attack >>

What about a 6th option:  Restructure his line, and attack?
