Why does everyone keep saying we don't need a Tackle at #3?

There are times when it's O.K. to deviate from these unwritten rules.

If the QBs are gone then who would you draft at #3? I really don't have a solid favorite after the QBs but I'm sure I'll develope a front runner as we get near the draft.

If the QBs are gone the most valuable player on the board is probably Malcolm Jenkins, at the risk of repeating myself. There is no way a non-rushing LB goes that high. None.
