We've got big trouble on the OL.

Um...okay?
I stated that the Packers drafted 2 1st round OTs.
Your diatribe doesn't change that.

Rodgers OL was horrible 2-3 years ago and was even up there with Jason Campbell on the most amount of sacks taken. Their run game was all but non-existent as well or it appeared that way.

All sacks are not created equal.
Quick pressure on a (1.2-1.5s) on 3-step drop where the QB gets hit even after a completion is much worse then a pressure after 2s on a 5-7 step drop.
Zorn/Campbell used a 3 step drop heavy WCO vs McCarthy/Rodgers 5-7 step drop heavy vertical WCO.

Also the Packers sack totals 2009/2010-32/38 Redskins 2009/2010-44/46

The Packers don't run the ball by choice.

However, you act as if the team can predict a person's health. If he passed a physical and checks out with the doctors, then it was worth a shot trading a 3rd or 4th rounder for a pro-bowl tackle. I'm sure many would have done the same.

You make a lot of false assumptions about my position.
I don't have a problem with bringing Jammal Brown in, its the subsequent re-signing and lack of up-grade after his sub-standard and injured plagued performance I consider a mistake.
And Jammal Brown's health was a 'prediction' it was a gamble.
He was injured when the Saints releases him, he was injured when we signed him, he's been injured during the season and he's injured now.

...In fact, the line performed better when TW and JB weren't in the lineup. (mostly) I posted the starting lineup the last 4 games.

lol, This actually speaks to my point about Jammal Brown's level of play and why RT should have been addressed.
I also noticed an uptick in the OL plays when Hurt and Polombus settled into their positions. (to be objective credit has to be given to the Helu and Royster)
And the advanced metics from Profootball Focus bear this out as Tyler Polombus graded out less poorly IIRC (-16ish) vs Jammal Brown (-18ish).
However being less bad doesn't equal good.
And if a journeyman OL pressed into the line-up outperforms your oft injured starter then imo its time to replace that 'starter'.
And extending that thought out further the level of performance from Brown/Polombus could very well be improved and likely matched by a mid-round OL.
Extending this line of thinking further...
You would still need to target and draft OL even if you think Willie Smith can be Jammal Brown's replacement.
But you would still need (a) a back-up for Willie Smith (b) a capable player if Willie Smith doesn't replicate his level of play (c) insurance against Trent weed use

Polombus was basically a gift, he's cheap and at the very least we know he's a capable back-up that can start some games and not vomit on himself.
But as a prospect Polombus wasn't highly regarded, he could keep improving and become a solid starter like Kory or he could regress like Heyer.
But, what if they could've drafted a prospect that is potentially better then Polombus going forward?
2 young cheap OTs (osentensibly both better then Jammal Brown) and improving for the future?
Have them compete in an open competition best OT plays that would have been the ulitmate win-win even.

Also, why would RT become a weak link? Was it last year?

Where did I say RT would become a weak link? (is everyone of your replies gonna contain things I didn't say and views I don't hold?)
And if you meant to ask how could RT become a weak link my answers would be the same as yours or anyone elses: if there is substandard level of play from the starter and lack of quality depth.

And in as much as Jammal Brown was one of the worst RT/OT in football, yes RT was a weak link last year.
