Thing is, in the past, we haven't needed to be much better than medium in the passing department to make the playoffs.

The question is, how long does it take to "fix" a broken down-RB and over-the-hill O-Line? 3 years? 4?

If there's no cap, you could do it in one. Draft a franchise LT, sign a Center, use the second round pick on a RB, draft another Center in the middle rounds, and bring in a free agent to backup LT.

Your OL looks like this next year: Russell Okung/Dockery/FA Center/Rinehart/Heyer.

Which would probably fix whatever ails the running game.

Such a committment, however, would put the passing game on the backburner, and I'm not sure Daniel Snyder would be willing to do that.
