But anyway, I'm not saying don't address the line. I'm just saying that I think Okung is the only OT worth taking at #4 (though I actually think Charles Brown might be the better LT for us in the long term). And if he's not there we shouldn't just reach for an OT to get an OT. Because it's not like all we need is one anyway.
Good offensive lines don't have to be all top 10 picks. Look at the Ravens, a couple of mid to late first round picks and a few mid to late round picks. The Jets have several first round picks but a couple of them are so late in the first they're all almost second rounders.
Ravens:
LT: Gaither-5th round supplemental
LG: Grubbs-1st round (29th overall)
C: Birk-6th round (free agent via Vikings)
RG: Yanda-3rd round
RT: Oher-1st round (23rd overall)
Jets:
LT: Ferguson-1st round (4th overall)
LG: Faneca-1st round (26th overall)
C: Mangold-1st round (29th overall)
RG: Moore-undrafted
RT: Woody-1st round (17th overall)
