Also let me quickly point you to some facts..the Chiefs drafted their LT in the 1st round last year yes? Ok how many teams have more than 1 1st round pick on the line, the answer is not many, some have none or one going for more than that is frankly overkill. The Pats have 1..the last pick of the 1st, the Giants have none and I can go on and on, so that immediately puts OT out of the discussion.
DE would be a fine argument DE's are very valuable I think the 2nd most after QB, but none of the guys in this draft are worth top 5 picks, you may not like Sanchez and you may think he's risky but I consider Brian Orakpo even more risky..people bring up Leinart just bring up the draft history of Texas under Mack Brown it's not pretty.
And for the record Tyler Thigpen is not good, they ran a gimmick offense for him and he is still horribly inaccurate gets worse as games progress, the only reason people like him around here is he strokes their Rich Gannon fancy which is just absurd.

So because some teams can succeed by finding lineman outside of the first round it rules out drafting an offensive tackle? K. What if Orlando Pace is available, or Jonathan Ogden, or Willie Roaf. They went 1st 4th and 8th overall and were anchors to great offenses for years and years. You think Trent green goes to so many pro bowls without Willie Roaf at LT?
Also Branden Albert wasn't an LT, we moved him to left tackle.
I think you take the best available player, I just don't think it's Sanchez. You know how great offensive lines can make average QBs look great. Yeah, well USC has an immense talent advantage across the board, and Sanchez only started for 1 season. Put him on Stanford and see how well he does. I think Aaron Curry is the best available player at the 3 spot. I don't care what the schemes are, the guy can flat out make plays
