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.

That's why the Skins should have drafted Adrian Petersen when I told them to do it. But, since it's too late to do that, they can follow my Plan B, which is as follows:
Trade or cut everyone on the team who is older than Albert Haynesworth. Draft Tim Tebow in the first round. Use picks acquired via trades to move up and draft Javid Best in the late first or early second round. Draft nothing but OL with the rest of the picks.
Drafting Tebow and Best would give us
two good RB's in the draft. Plus we'd get a QB (Tebow) a receiver (Best), and a return man (Best).
There's no need to compensate me, Danny. This particular brilliant insight of mine is gratis.
