Nothing, and though most don't like Pasquarelli he does have an article on ESPN.com that goes right to this point.
Excerpt:
"Since 2000, there have been 26 defensive tackles selected in the first round and 59 chosen as first-day picks. Only six have played in even one Pro Bowl game, and 15 are out of the NFL entirely right now. The 2001 draft produced five of the six Pro Bowl tackles chosen since 2000 -- Seymour, Stroud,
Casey Hampton, Jenkins and Rogers -- and the league might never see such a bounty at the position again."
