Do you really think the stats would be that much different if you did it for RB, WR, DL or anything but QB?
Did you notice there's only 7 teams in that sample pool?
Come on Hamas, you're smarter than this.

So don't limit it to this year.
Go back TWENTY years and look at the playoff teams that had more than 1 first round offensive lineman. You might find 1 or 2.
It's quite simple - statistics don't favor teams with multiple first rounders on the line.
Furthermore, draft a lineman with the #3 overall pick produces the INSTANT EXPECTATION that he's the starting LT, based on his draft position and especially on his salary.
The ONLY outcome of drafting a lineman at #3 is moving Brandon Albert to another position, when he's EARNED the starting LT job going away. It's not only not fair, to him or the team, but it's STUPID.
