But, looking at this year's potential picks (and also peeking ahead as best as possible to the 2011 draft), I lean toward QB first |
When we were a 6-2 team last year, the offensive backfield was our best unit. It might still be our best unit, with Cooley on the mend, but only because pretty much every unit has been terrible.
I support the notion that a great player in the offensive backfield could make the lines job easier, but I would suggest that you should make it a great running back, someone who could make a decent running team out of the current line.
The Redskins simply do not have the receivers to make the next two years of the passing game anything but a moderate success, best case scenario. However, since we tend to block well with our receivers against other DBs, and we're trying to build the OL anyway, I think the quickest way to make the OL look competent would be to get the best available RB.
If we were to go to a more run, run, play action style of offense, you'd probably want to change the quarterback as well, since Campbell is more of a read and react style player, than a PA, throw the ball in a tight window down the field. But since we can't really make great strides in the passing game with just an offseason or two, lets go to work on the running game first.
