Value is subjective. 

On an empty roster, yes, some positions hold a greater value than others. But when you have a full roster, the value of those positions change. 

Edge rushers are more valuable than interior offensive linemen. However, when you already have edge rushers like Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen, Stephen Weatherly, and a few other raw prospects on a team that’s had success developing edge rushers, the value of an edge rusher is considerably less. 

On the flip side, while the interior offensive lineman isn’t as valuable, in theory. When the players on your roster include the likes of Pat Elflein, Josh Kline, Brett Jones, and Danny Isidora, the value of an interior offensive lineman increases significantly.

Top 5 three years in a row, none of his first or second round defensive players have been busts, and he's developed later round players to be important contributors. Add in the fact that Mike Hughes was a Speilman pick, not someone that Zimmer was begging for and I'm not sure why you feel the need to get a dig in at Zimmer. I think we all understand that you (and most people, myself included) want the team to pick offensive lineman. That doesn't mean that Zimmer hasn't done a great job in creating a consistently great defensive unit.

It was a shot speilman, if he has a defensive genius, stop giving him first round DBs, and use your strength....
