Also, rookie OTs can start immediately if they're good. We can get a better player at better cost at #13.

Exactly. Even if we accept the "Jason Peters is great" argument, the cost is a key point. You are going to pay him elite LT money then go and play him at RT (and even if you say you'll just move Samuels to RT then you are still paying #60 elite LT money). Get a young guy in, pay him 5/15 and let him roll. Trading high picks for players does not work. It is a losing strategy. The Redskins have proven that.
