Yes you absolutely can, teams do it every year. Tyler Smith was a Rd 2 projection at best and the Cowboys took him in the 1st and he started at guard, they lost their LT and he moved to LT. Excellent decision.
Cole Strange was a projected backup and 4th rounder the Patriots took in the 1st and he is starting.
If a lineman we want is an early to mid 2nd rounder we absolutely should take him, having a RT to fill that spot with LC out that could hold down that down for the next 10 years is way worth reaching several picks.
We dont have the luxury of BPA currently, IMHO.
