Where do you think we need to improve along the OL and how?

The OL has improved of late,
But outside of Trent Williams no one has really locked up a spot.
Corey Lichtensteiger and Will Montgomery seem to be chosen by the Shanahan staff as their interior OL of choice.
But, that still leaves at least 2 positions along the OL that need an upgrade.

Priority 1 is updrading the center spot Casey Rabach must be really good at line calls because his actual performance in the run game and sometimes in pass protection has been a liability for years.

Solution? I think Corey Lichtensteiger or Will Montgomery could step in and be an instant improvement at Center that would maintain some continuity along the OL.

That would leave:
LT-Trent Williams
LG-Corey Lichtensteiger
C-Will Montgomery
RG-?
RT-Jamaal Brown??

I think Jamaal Brown has been an overall dissappointment at RT he's didn't fully recover from his injury and it effected his performance to the point that he was rotated w/ Stephon Heyer.
Jamaal Brown has been better recently but recent Redskins history should tell us that rely on a 30 y/o OL coming off 2 injury riddled season isn't a good plan.

I would consider drafting a RT

That would leave 1 remaining hole at RG which could be addressed via FA.

How would this OL look next year:

LT-Trent Williams
LG-Corey Lichtensteiger
C-Will Montgomery
RG-FA Logan Mankins/Davin Joseph
RT-Draftee Derrek Sherrod

or

LT-Trent Williams
LG-Corey Lichtensteiger
C-draft: Steffen Weisniski(spl)
RG-Will Montgomery
RT-draft/FA or gamble on Jamaal Brown staying healthy?
