This is a great point. There is no guard, center or RT that is ever worth a 1st rounder.
LT is the exception. You rarely hear of a UDFA LT playing unless the team is in dire straits. The Chargers managed to get a Pro Bowl Guard, (Dielman), as a UDFA
Defensive Tackle for crying out loud.
The Chiefs had one of the most dominant O-Lines in the NFL for a decade and they couldn't do shit because there was a severe lack of talent in the "skill" positions.
While every great team starts at QB, and a good one doesn't need to be found in the 1st round, the skill guys are the key.
Imagine a team spending 5 years drafting OL in the 1st round. I don't believe they'd be very good.
