Bobb McKittrick of the 49ers (1979-99) coached up 11th round draft picks into
Pro Bowl offensive lineman, all 5 of the Super Bowls were won under his watch. His ability to make solid blockers out of cast offs and later round picks was nothing short of amazing.

It's almost like the NFL trends in cycles. Next thing you know, running backs and the running game will be more important than the passing game.

Smart teams do.
The Patriots have used their past 5 first round picks on front 7 or offensive line players.
The Seahawks pretty much have done the same thing, even though they trade away a lot of their picks.
Steelers have used their past 7 picks on front 7 or offensive line players.

It seems smart teams invest on the oline.

Pretty sure protecting the QB has been a priority in the NFL for a few years now.
