Titans start two 7th rounders
But anyway, my point (which I'm sure I'd get to eventually) is that a bunch of high draft picks does not make a good offensive line. A top level QB with a bunch of free agent and late round linemen is better than a scrub QB with a bunch of top level linemen. See Matt Ryan
I don't think I, or anyone else calling for a QB in the first round, is saying ignore the line. Just that we can address the line with later picks

I see what you are saying about the line and other teams picking in later round. But don't you think drafting a lineman later might be more of a crapshoot than getting a better overall talented OL in the first round since it's so urgent for us to protect the QB? Plus Ryan Clady, Jake Long, Jeff Otah & etc. the franchise tackles are usually picked in the first round more talent is there.
