You may have a point as far as arm length being overrated, but just look at these two charts relating to OL measurables and player comparisons. Look at these two charts and ask yourself this question: are these guys really the kind of premium athletes who warrant first round consideration? How about first round consideration ON TOP OF BEING INJURED?

Are there any listed player comparisons that inspire confidence in either of these guys ever being able to be good pros based upon their measurables alone? If no other player in the modern history of the league with a similar athletic profile has been able to have elite success, why then would anyone expect them to be the first to ever do so? Is that logical?
