We just mortgaged the foreseeable future on our franchise QB, it stands to reason we'd do everything possible to best protect him and that means solidifying the line to me.

Garcon, Gaffney, Moss and a healthy Hankerson is a pretty decent WR group. Spending extra cap space on Morgan at the (possible) expense of London, RT, OG seems either shortsighted or indicative Hankerson is a big ?
Shanahan just doesn't toss big $$ at lineman especially on the interior.

I don't think the line was that horrible to begin with anyway.

One of RG3's main strength's is his deep ball. Makes sense to get him as much help as possible in that area.

RG3 also seems to be pretty good at getting the most out of generally inferior talent. Line wise Baylor always had a prospect or two but to my knowledge as a unit they've always been average.

2009 - Frosh year
Jason Smith - T - Rams - Top 5 Pick
Dan Gay - T -Saints - Undrafted

2010
JD Walton - C - Broncos - 3rd Round

2011
Danny Watkins - G - Eagles - 1st Round

2012
Phillip Wright - C - 5th Round Grade
Robert Griffin (Yes, Robert Griffin) - G - Projected UDFA

And Jason Smith has been a dud for the Rams; he's playing RT and not well-endeared to Rams fans.

I was speaking of Jason Smith as a college player. Fact of the matter is when he was at Baylor in 2008 he was dominant. His pro career is irrelevant when talking about the personnel RG3 had around him during his time at Baylor.

Anyway the point remains, decent O-Lines, two great prospects in RG3's time there, but overall average units at best.
