In fact, looking at the drafts since then, there's more evidence than not this was a Fisher special, including Snead's own words that he doesn't see value for Oline in the early rounds. And since that pick, there as a second rounder, and all the rest have been 3rds and later.
The directive for Snead was to draft the 2 likeliest HOF talents in the first round. Fisher said it repeatedly before the draft. GRob was a freak prospect who Daniel Jeremiah said was the most likeliest guy in the entire draft to be in the HOF in 20 years.
The directive has changed with McVay. Character, smarts, and attitude play a much larger role in the draft.
