Jake Long. I think it's more than fair to say that if J.Long hadn't gone first, he would have gone in the top 5. Since 1995, these eight tackles have been taken in the top 5:

Joe Thomas, Levi Brown, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Robert Gallery, Jordan Gross, Mike Williams, Chris Samuels, Orlando Pace, Tony Boseli.

While you run this risk of getting a Mike Williams, there is a good chance that your getting a perenial pro-bowl or all-pro player if you take a tackle who is considered to be worthy of a top 5 pick.
