I did read some study that said the LT was overvalued though. QBs can take a pounding even with a good LT if the rest of the line sucks. But maybe the rest of the line sucking has a lot to do with coaching.

In retrospect, I think I'd rather have Jared Allen instead of Glenn Dorsey. We could have traded down and still got a LT.
The best argument I've heard for that trade being good is that Allen wanted out and would've left the following season anyway.
