No it isn't. If the draft was chock full of a ton of talent at QB and other "skill positions" and a team still picks a Tackle 1.1, then you can reasonably expect that guy to be some kind of aberration at the tackle position and come out on day one being among the best in the league. The only reason he went 1.1 is because the draft class was so poor. He went #1 overall pick,
not because he is better than all the other tackles out there that have been drafted lower than him in years past, he went #1 because his draft class was week at the skill positions.
