Bust rates on tackles in the last 10 years have been really high just based on how colleges are training linemen now. If you have the 1st overall pick you CAN NOT MISS. Not only is Chase Young the safest pick he is the best player in the draft.
I disagree on Young being the "best" player and being the "safest" pick.
As to missing on OLine. You can miss on pass rushers as well. Clowney is the one that comes immediately to mind. Charles Harris in Miami hasn't been overly great either. Some of those "Power Rangers" from Clemson haven't been wowing in the NFL. Bradley Chubb was called "unblockable" by Mike Mayock, he has been blocked a lot even with some guy named Vonn Miller on the other side of him.
Blame it on my philosophy though. I would rather spend more time and effort building up the OLine (to the point of taking OT, OG and OC, 1,2,3 in this year's draft) than DLine. You can't win with a terrible OLine but you can win with terrible DLine. I don't mean this to be that the DLine isn't important. Just that a stout OLine is more important than a stout DLine.
