The last four years of the draft saw an offensive tackle go in the top five picks. And there is no value in it? Perhaps from your perspective, but it looks like NFL teams would argue vehemently against your theory.

Bolded are positions that this draft offers very rare talents at that are worthy of such a high pick. If we decide that the elite talent that fits our needs at the top of the draft is worth passing on to upgrade LT, he better damn sure be better than Okung looks.
I wouldnt pick Okung at 10 or even 15, we simply have too many other desperate needs that we cant afford to give one position a mild upgrade if at all (which I dont think is an upgrade at all)
