Draft '08

The best lineman available regardless of position. Offense or defense, it does not matter.
Great, quality lineman are not always easy to find. Skill position guys are a dime a dozen.
The Redskins success in the 80's was due to their great ability to find great linemen in the draft or free agency. Griim, May, Jacoby, Bostic, Raleigh McKenzie, Darryl Grant, Charles Mann, Dexter Manley, Marcus Koch, Dean Hammel to name a few.
I think Snyder/Cerrato's failure in player acquisition (before Gibbs arrived) was due to their inability to land big men. Other than Chris Samuels who was a no brainer #3 pick in the draft, not a single good lineman has been drafted by Snyderatto. Jon Jansen was drafted by Charlie Casserly. You have to go all the way to 1994 and Tre Johnson to find a decet Lineman that was drafted by the Redskins. That is a MAJOR problem.
Hey Gibbs, you win with your horses up front.
