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.

That's a shitty way to draft players.
If the draft class was so poor, and whoever you take at 1.1 is going tonged all this leeway and such, why would you not take te player with the highest potential upside and highest ability to change games.
Maybe some think different, but unless e becomes a top 5 player at his position, that's not a LT.
