The second teir of o tackles went before our second pick leaving Mecca to pick...........another defensive lineman. At what point to we address the worst position on our team??? Second day picks for the line should go towards OG/C. CB still needs addressed. Hopefully WR will be addressed as well. I have no problem drafting a defensive lineman, despite the fact that it is not an area of great need, but to pass on Jake Long and take d line with our first 2 picks just makes absolutely no sense to me.

You aren't correctly gauging your sample. This mock is being conducted by people with a bias to choosing LT high because they are fans of a team with a weak o-line which had been historically dominant.
You wouldn't expect to see a bunch of RBs fly off the board early when a bunch of Donk fans are doing a mock, would you?
