2009.04.22 Drafting OL 1st or 2nd is Good
Drafting an offensive lineman at the 1st or 2nd overall pick has usually brought success to their teams.
There have been 11 offensive linemen drafted that high in the common draft era (since 1967). Eight of the 11 made it to at least one Pro Bowl and were selected to a total of 35 Pro Bowls.
The ones who never made it to a Pro Bowl:
| Player | Year | Drafted |
| Robert Gallery | 2004 | 2nd overall to Raiders |
| Tony Mandarich | 1989 | 2nd overall to Packers |
| Dean Steinkuhler | 1984 | 2nd overall to Oilers |
