HB Blades or Stephon Heyer?

Really the question going into the draft is who are the Redskins most comfortable going into the season with as a starter. Redskins.com did profiles on both players within the last week:

Blades article- In Third Season, Blades Could Emerge As a Starter

Heyer article- Heyer Enters Offseason With a Higher Purpose

If you were on the coaching staff or in the FO, with the likelihood we aren't going to get starters at RT, SLB and DE (we're likely going to go with the Daniels/Wynn/Buzbee/Jackson rotation) from the draft, who are you more comfortable going into 2009 as a starter? (Mods-can we poll this?)

I'd lean towards Heyer. He's got 12 starts already in his 2 years and has come a long way. This is how you get the most value out of available players, find a player who fits what you do and coach him in the way you want things done. Buges loves him and he seems to have a nice upside. RT is a key position in pass protection and I've been pretty consistent in saying that I'm wary about drafting a LT at #13 and then changing his position immediately. While we need to think long term about replacing Samuels, do we need to address it in this draft when we either have a RT on the roster already or we can draft a T in the 3rd or 4th round and develop him?

Blades worries me because of his lack of size on the outside. I'm afraid he's going to get exposed vs. the pass all season. He's built for the middle, where I think he can be very solid once Fletcher retires but he's a liability outside.
