The same applies the other way, if you have a great C/G then you can counteract a great DL and have the DE beat you.

I think a 2009 starting OL of this guys below would be sweet:

Samuels, Dockery, Mack, Devin Clark/Rinehart, Heyer/Jansen

it all depends

if you want to start with a passing team, its probably more beneficial to go after a tackle. they are the cornerstones of the offense and protect the most important asset(obviously not true for all teams lol)

tackles make good money because they deserve good money. You have to be big, very strong, and very quick to play tackle in the NFL and there arent many players that can do that....more and more tackles are being drafted in the later rounds and being converted to guards because they cant handle the rush on the outside

interior linemen are more important IMO because most plays take place from the inside out. the center is the only player to touch the ball every single play and if he gets pushed off balance then he ruins the entire play.

guards need to be quicker than tackles but rarely have to move backwards like tackles. most of their steps are forward and allow them to play off balance a little

if it were my pick, id take a tackle, but thats only because its so early in the first round

if it were later in round 1 or even in round 2, id take a top rated center or guard without looking back. especially from the crop of kids coming out this year

unless they make a trade back, the redskins need to take a tackle
