I respectfully disagree and I don't know why folks cannot just debate these issues.
Comparing Sewell or the northwestern kid to Ogbuehi ( taken at 21) or Fisher ( taken at 53) is not a good comparison to two guys who are consensus top 10 picks and the consensus top 2 lineman.
So we shouldn't have draft Levi Jones and Zeitler?
Price has been a disaster and he was a product of extremely poor scouting by our inept scouting department. They reached for Price because of horrible play at the center position and he went at 21. Not even close to a consensus top 10 pick and I bet if we did the research several had him rated as a second round pick or lower.
I cannot recall the other o lineman taken in first round by Mike Brown but they were not top ten selections.
O line is the worst position group on the team ( or tied with LBs) and I doubt that many teams in similar situations would pass on Sewell or Slater particularly when you need to protect you brilliant prospect at QB before he becomes David Carr.
Everything starts and ends with your offensive line.
