What is the MOST important off-season change?

I want this team to stop trading draft picks, and instead stockpile them. Commit to rebuilding thru the draft and stop looking for shortcuts. Commit to an identity - great Redskins champions of the past were built on great line play. Bolster personnel in the trenches. Seems to have worked pretty well for Dallas with 3 first round picks starting on their OL. I'm tired of watching Alfred Morris getting blown up 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

With who we have drafting it doesn't matter how many picks we have.

Want to truly be depressed? This team has consistently picked offensive linemen in rounds that should provide at a minimum year two starters and/or reliable depth since 2010 and developed one of them. One.

They drafted Trent Williams (1st-2010), Mo Hurt (7th-2011), Josh LeReibius (3rd-2012), Adam Gettis (5th-2012), Tom Compton (7th-2012), Morgan Moses (3rd-2014), Spencer Long (3rd-2014) and have developed one. ONE!

To make it even worse we've spent more picks (4) on that position group in the first 3 rounds than any other position group on the roster. Players drafted in those rounds should be starters, not inactive every week.

We can save the whole 'draft linemen' thing as a reason we're terrible. It's not the fruit that's rotten, it is who is choosing it.

I say the skins go back to the power blocking scheme and 4-3 defense. I want maulers, not some light OLinemen that get pushed around. I laugh at the results of the poll in link below.

AMEN! As I mentioned earlier, a commitment to dominating the line of scrimmage would be a good starting point. That was Redskins football during the glory years, and we have gotten away from that. I am so done with the Shanahan Principle of small athletic O-linemen. Give me cavemen with a mean streak like Tre Johnson all day and twice on Sundays.

This is such Santa Claus riding a unicorn mentality that the fanbase and front office (unfortunately) have. It is not a player issue. We've 'focused' on the OL, they just failed miserably. It's not about the players, it's all about who is picking them.
