Re: Time to Build an Offensive Line
The funny thing is the Colts resigned Lilja in 2008 to a 5 year 20 mil. contract. They must have liked him at the time.

Re: Time to Build an Offensive Line
Just saw Rick Maese tweet that the Redskins have offered Levi Jones a 1-year deal. Does anyone know anything about this? I wonder if he'd play RT? Any thoughts on this as a possible line:
LT: Okung LG: Dock C: Rabach RG: Hicks RT: Jones

Re: Time to Build an Offensive Line
I interpret this of the Redskins wanting to head into the draft with a starting five, thus not being forced to use any of their picks on the OL.
Obviously, it would be understood that an OL of: Levi Jones, Dockery, Rabach, Hicks, Mike Williams is pretty much the worst intentioned line in the history of the NFL. But right now, that's a line without a LT, which explains the one year contract to Levi Jones, who is the very definition of a stopgap. I'll say this: a one year contract from this front office is not worth much in terms of job security.

If we don't go line heavy this year, it's hard to see us ever going with more than a pick or two on the line in a single draft. We're in dire straights (straits?) now. We won't be in quite as bad a position at this time next year. It's my conclusion that if we went line heavy in this draft, we could win a whole bunch of games and make the postseason. But even if we miss the postseason in 2010, I think our line will be improved. I think Heyer will get better, I think Rabach will be a little less confused, and if nothing else, we won't be as injury riddled this year as we have been in the past. That should help.

Re: Time to Build an Offensive Line
Also, not committing long term to a free agent LT could mean that we are planning on drafting a player like Okung. But, that could be my wishful thinking.

Re: Time to Build an Offensive Line
I don't know about Hicks as a starter. Seeing is believing on that one and maybe a light will come on for Rinehart. And I hope that we had some young ones being groomed behind these guys. But that line might not be too terrible for just one year.

Re: Time to Build an Offensive Line
Yeah Levi's been offered a one year deal but wants more. Probably won't find it and will end up here

But ultimately it's about player evaluation and availability. I think it's safe to assume Bradford won't fall to 4 and that we're not trading up because it would just be too damn irresponsible. So if Okung is also gone when we pick and Shanny/Allen have Clausen rated higher than the next BPA...I guess we'll add a QB w/ our first pick. That strategy relies on a wing and a prayer Levi Jones has a good year or two left in him. Personally not something I'd be willing to bet the house on...and let's be honest Levi Jones protecting a QB drafted 4th overall is betting the house. ...I'm pretty glad I don't have to make decisions for the franchise this off-season.

Re: Time to Build an Offensive Line
I don't actually think Okung will be gone when we pick. I think Detroit and Tampa Bay will have serious internal discussions about taking him, and I think Detroit is more likely to take him, but ultimately, won't be able to pass on Suh or McCoy.
