Two of the teams that drafted these guys, one in the first and the other in the second I believe in Loadholt's case, are in the playoffs (Ravens & Vikings). Oher has played RT and LT this year. Those teams had decent lineman already. We've got a bunch of effing bums. 75% of the offensive linemen on our roster right now are going to hit the bricks as soon as Shanny starts looking at film.
I want the next Chris Samuals at LT for the next ten years, not a FA for the next year. Chris was the third pick in the first, not a deal they found in the fifth or some UDFA from Maryland. I'll eat my words if they draft some wonderboy and we go to the playoffs. I don't see that going down. I see some poor kid eating turf as the NFC East uses him like toilet paper.

Tramp is back with a vengeance! I found what GTripp said very interesting. If you're going to draft a QB that high, you're basically saying you think he's the best who will come out in the next 3 years. If not, why draft him? If I thought as highly as some do of Clausen or Bradford I would want to draft QB first myself. JMO, while they are both very talented, I think they have as much potential to be busts as they do of being great. With Locker available next year, I would rather draft OT in the first and someone like LeFevour later. JC may work out pretty well with a decent line and someone like LeFevour, or whoever, could turnout to be a steal. If not, we should have a pretty good pick next year. I think it's easier to get an OT with the 4th pick who will be what you think he is, than a QB. At least in this draft. I know there are no sure things, but I hope the coaches don't gamble with this pick.
