In 2012 Justin Blackmon and Trent Richardson were top 5 draft picks. Both teams had $3it o lines.
In 2011 A. J. Green went no 4 overall.
In 08 McFadden went no 4 overall.
In 07 Calvin Johnson was no 2 overall and Adrian Peterson was taken at 7.
And more and more teams (4-3) are rotating D lineman. They're drafting as many pass rushers as they can and rotate to keep them fresh.

Yeeeaaahhh, and where are those teams at?
Jags were average to mediocre everywhere along their OL save for Monroe. Their team still sucks and Blackmon is a bonehead.
McFadden is a bust.
Calvin Johnson is a great player, but how are the Lions doing with him and their "franchise" QB? They haven't done shit, that's your answer.
Bengals already had a solid OL and were set at both OT positions. They still suck even with A.J. Green and a dominant defense because Andy Dalton can't pull his head out of his own a** sometimes. They are a case of having talent everywhere but not being able to put it together.
Richardson had 2 great OL players in Mack and Thomas. The other 3 are pretty average. Richardson is also a bust btw.
You aren't helping your argument any here. I said good teams don't draft skills positions top 5 unless they fit those qualifiers.
Last time I checked:
Browns, Jags, Lions, and Raiders are all failures. Hell, throw the Bengals in there as well because, on paper, they should be the power house team of the AFC but instead they fail to live up to expectations every year despite having great talent everywhere (except for QB).
