Looking ahead it seems there is much debate about whether we look at a franchise QB or elite LT in R1, and then reversing the selection in R2 on the assumption that Edwards cannot step up, and Bell lacks the ability to ever become elite.
Looking at the trends in the last couple of drafts it seems that teams are overpaying for Left Tackles - see Duane Brown (Houston) and Sam Baker (Atlanta) whilst QuarterBacks outside of the Top2 have slid.
In 2008, there were 6 LT taken (Long, Clady, Alberts, Chris Williams, Baker, and Brown) compared to 2 QB (Ryan and Flacco) whilst this year, more LT were again taken before QB.
If this trend continues would it make more sense to take that elite LT and then look to take a QB in R2 in what might be the deepest QB class since 2004?
