If you don't like the DE's please pick another position, you'd be better off with Taylor Mays than taking a RT.

Taking the best player, even at RT isn't such a bad idea.
Some of the top teams and up and coming teams in the AFC (Pitt, NE, Balt, Miami, Chargers) play out of a 3-4. They bring pressure from their OLB's on both sides of the line.
Other top 4-3 teams now have good rushers on both ends (Tennesse and Indy). Since the NFL is a copy cat league more teams will try to follow the NYG example and put good pass rushers on both sides of the ball.
It isn't really a case of "just stop Jared Allen on right side" and we don't have to worry too much about the left.
IF a franchise QB or DE isn't available and the next highest rated player is a RT, it isn't such a bad idea.
