Well let's give it a look - I suspect you have 'top 10' comprises most of them. Before I do the homework I'll say top 10 is roughly 1/2 of your top tier tackles, another 25% in the next 22 picks, the remaining 25% everywhere else. We'll use PFF because it's an easy list.

Sewell: 7th overall
Williams: 4th overall
Mailata: 7th Round
Tyron Smith: 9th overall
Wirfs: 13th overall
Braden Smith: 2nd Round
Darrisaw: 23rd overall
Raimann: 3rd round
Decker: 16th overall
Morgan Moses: 3rd Round
Trent Brown: 7th Round
Kolton Miller: 15th Overall
Lane Johnson: 4th overall
Rob Havenstein: 2nd Round
Zach Tom: 4th Round
Terron Armstead: 3rd Round
Rashawn Slater: 13th Overall
Andrew Thomas: 4th Overall
Garett Bolles: 20th Overall
Kaleb McGary: 31st Overall
Laremy Tunsil: 13th Overall
Dion Dawkins: 2nd Round
Taylor Moton: 2nd Round
Brian O'neill: 2nd Round
Ryan Ramczyk: 32nd overall
Luke Goedeke: 2nd Round
Spencer Brown: 3rd Round
Ronnie Stanley: 6th Overall
Orlando Brown: 3rd Round
Cam Robinson: 2nd Round

Towards the bottom of that list I added some guys (and subtracted some) to address off seasons or out of the ordinary good ones. Guys like Cross and Ekwonu are early in their careers but I don't think either trend as 'franchise LTs right now. So I think that's a reasonably representative list. The top 10 was actually pretty sparse (only 4 of them) so I moved it to top 16 - the front half of the round.

Top 16: 11
17 - 32: 4
Everyone else: 14

The list isn't truly horrifying. Ramczyk and McGary are quite good. And guys like Dawkins, Moton, O'Neill, Goedeke and Brown out of the 2nd would all be fantastic assets for us as cheap, above average starting tackles.

I think we can get a guy that's good enough at the position from 32. But we have to identify/coach them up better than most. And we probably have to be a little patient. Obviously the hit rate is far higher at the top, but that's to be expected at essentially any position. There do appear to be a fair number of pretty good starting OTs that come from the back of the 1st and beyond.
