Positions of need Offensively:
OL- Take any decent talent in FA that can help out for a year or two plus draft as many as we can. Then look at all UFA's in summer camp.
QB- I "like" JC but I don't see a Franchise QB in him. I don't care about the stats. Yes he's safe with the ball. I'm talking the whole package. He won't be a Manning, Favre, or Breese. Too many complaints as to why he won't to list and has been talked about at nauseum so .... Draft a Franchise QB.

I think you are contradicting yourself a bit here. I do agree with you that we are in a rebuilding mode. But I think by picking up any decent talent at OL (which really there isn't much), you are basically keep pushing of an area of need we've been having for the past two maybe three years. If the team is in true rebuilding mode, then we need to pick up a young starting Tackle. While I do agree that we need a QB, I think given our current roster, we are in dire need of tackle.

QB - I also agree with you about JC. From my observations, there just isn't an OL worthy of the #4 pick, whereas I think that either Clausen or Bradford, or even both, could possibly be that elusive Franchise QB. So, I'd like to see the Skins take one of them with the #4 pick. But that leaves the matter of what to do with JC. If the Skins tender him at a 1st and a 3rd level, will they trade him or pay him to start one more season? I'd hate to miss out on the opportunity to get something for him.

I think the best case scenario for people like you and me will be that we can get good compensation for Campbell. Otherwise, I don't think you are going to find much talent in FA for the offensive line. And I have to disagree with you on the tackles, there are at least two tackles worth picking up at #4, and one (Okung) could start right away from day one. Can't say the same thing about Bradford or Clausen.
