It is unnecessary to convince the audience of a site called Hogs Haven that the offensive line in general, and offensive tackles in particular, are a necessary condition for success in the NFL. Nearly every consistently successful team in the league has at least a very good offensive line. Of course, many other positions matter, especially quarterback, but a team without good offensive tackles is badly handicapped.
A major point of discussion on Hogs Haven these days concerns whether the General Manager Adam Peters made a mistake by not drafting multiple offensive tackles (OTs) this year. Washington lacks quality OTs on both the right and left sides and this seemed like the ideal year to select at least two prospects.
