It's good to have a couple of high picks on the O-line, but there are so many solid starters that are taken later on. You're not going to have 5 pro bowlers. Look at the Giants for example. If I'm not mistaken the only high pick is Chris Snee. I'd kill to have a Rich Seubert or a Shaun O'Hara on the Redskins and neither were drafted high. This is a position you can find later in the drafts.

Absolutely.

Now check our track record at it over the last decade and a half.

We have to throw numbers at the offensive line.

You did yesterday. I'm thinking of Shanny's O-line in Denver with Matt Lepsis and Tom Nalen. Not too many high picks or big names but they got the job the hell done. Don't always need stars there.

We drafted one player. Our need is much greater than that. And we can't assume that player is a hit anyway considering our inability to draft.

Both our starting Gs are over 30 and in decline. So is our C. Our RT is the worst in the league. Our LT is decent, nothing more. And we don't have a backup on the roster worth their own weight.

That's crisis mode. Brought on because for years we couldn't do what you suggest. Find quality linemen later in the draft.

Trust me that sounds all too familiar to me. Hang in there though. This draft has a few interior lineman that could turn into solid starters. John Moffitt in particular is someone who fits your scheme very well and should be available when you pick.
