O line is typically a position where good rookies can come in and play right away. There are countless examples, but ATl. got a good one w/our 21st pick last year in Sam Baker. And he started all year at LT for them.
Baker started 5 games last year (played 8)

Right, but didn't he have back surgery that caused him to miss a huge chunk of games? He probably would have been a regular starter if not for injury from my understanding.

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that he didn't start all year at LT for them

SS, let me ask you something. If they couldn't trade down and with the way the roster is right now, who do you think they would draft? I'm saying it would be the best OLB available, either Cushing or Maualuga?

Probably Michael Oher or Clay Matthews

Both of these guys are intriguing prospects. Oher could turn out to be one of the best and Matthews works hard, is versatile, and has good pass rushing skills.
