Ordinary QBs can become near Pro Bowl caliber with a great OL that gives them time to operate.

I agree with your general premise, however lets take a look at the last 4 QB's that's won a Superbowl. Ben Rothlisberger, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning. All elite, franchise QB's. An elite QB will force the opposing defense to drop more men in coverage instead of stacking the front box. That would take tremendous pressure off our offensive lineman. I agree that we need to draft lineman, but we're going no where without an elite QB. We'll be just like Minnesota without Brett Farve. A great running team that can't convert in 3rd and long situations.

We have drafted some of our best lineman in the later rounds. Russ Grimm 4th, Joe Jacoby(undrafted) Jeff Bostic was a second round pick George Starke 11th round pick. That's *why* we need to use the first pick to acquire a talented QB, and use our 2nd, 3rd, etc to draft lineman, and pick up a few free agents.
