Can our Offensive Line resemble the Ravens by 2010?

I'm not sure it's an either or sort of deal. Gaither was drafted, Heyer was not. Sure, Gaither was very undervalued and Heyer was properly valued, but to lambast the Redskins for missing Gaither, you'd have to do the same to the 30 other teams that didn't get him in the first six rounds.

Heyer was a better find than most UDFAs in his own right. Heyer, and I think Thrash, Yoder, and Geisinger, are the only undrafted players on the Redskins' offense. By and large, this offense is made up of people who didn't slip through the cracks, so credit them for Heyer at least.
