Actually Spiny Greg Sampson, a DT on two Rose Bowl teams, was the sixth pick (Oilers) in 1972.

Thanks, Phogge. nfl.com listed Sampson as a T (same position listing as for Peat, Murphy and Fleming) and so I assumed that meant offensive tackle.

Sampson was a DT in college and played his first two seasons in the NFL at the position, without much success. He was switched to OT the following year and played there for the next five seasons, even being selected all-AFC. Unfortunately just as his career was peaking he suffered a head injury in training camp which resulted in a blood clot and he never played again. Thus he is listed as an offensive lineman but played on defense in college and was drafted for that position.
