draft O-line

[GTripp0012]

I look at this like this: Between now and 2009, the Redskins will need to address the following positions: DE, DT, CB, C, and G. It doesn't really matter which order they address these positions in, except that they want to address the positions as the value dictates to insure that they get quality performers at all those positions.

First of all, you forgot WR. I feel that we should get a solid, not too huge a name veteran CB to help develop the young group that we have. As far as G and C go, good ones are not too hard to find in the free agency for a reasonable price and even if we do not pursue that route, there are quality O-lineman a few rounds deeper in the draft. As far as D-line goes, from what Ive read Blanche is a very hands on defensive coach. The line being his specialty, I am looking for him to personally select one or two (perhaps DE and DT) and develop them into powerhouses. IMO, the new era of the Redskins will be known for its defensive line instead of its offensive line. Luckily, the Gibbs II era provided for the development of solid offensive linemen for years to come.

Well put. I think you can add OT to that list as well. Hopefully Heyer will continue to develop, but he's the only one under 30 on the roster.
