I've always looked at it like this.

QB > Pass Rusher > LT > CB in order of importance.

in my opinion I always thought a team should be set up like......

1. LT (assuming the QB is right handed)

2. QB

3. Pass rusher

4. CB

5. MLB

6. WR

7. Center

8. Run stuffer

9. RT

10. FS

11. OLB

12. LG

13. Strong Safety

14. RB

15. RG

16. TE

I want my QB's blindside to be protected before I invest tens of millions in a passer. Without adequate protection on the line, a QB can only be so good. He needs time to throw.

There just hasn't really been any elite tackle prospects as of late or they would still go as high as they have in the past.  Not to mention the last few LTs that went in the top 3 were busts

Agreed. You used to see elite tackles a lot more often 10 years ago. As of late, they've been few and far between.
