But lets look at the draft last year with keeping in mind that it was not considered a great or deep year.
There was 3 OG taken in the first round: 7th, 10th, and 20th pick overall. There were 4 other OGs taken in the 3rd round.

Asamoah as of right now has had a better career than Schwartz, benching and all. In 2012 he allowed 2 sacks. In Schwartz's only year where he started all 16 games, he allowed 6.
I believe Asamoah was more a victim of the scheme we were trying to run early on in the season than him being bad. He was good in zone blocking which we ran more of at the end of the year. He likely would have been just as good if not better had we switched earlier.
